 I totally agree Danika, it's the same with us here in the UK. Everything is going up tax wise, food prices, energy prices and wages and other entitlements are not going up in line.

That is just pushing the divide of smoking and affording to smoke to probably it's greatest divide since I can remember.

Like you I come from a smoking family background. And kids will smoke, mostly nowadays from picking up the habits from the parents but at the end of the day it's everyone's right if they so choose to smoke regardless of age however the cost is making life slightly difficult for many.

Luckily for ourselves we have a shop that sells duty free cigarettes from under the counter which is around 70% cheaper than what they are in the shops and we buy many cartons of 200 per week.

Those unlucky enough to have this facility in their neighbourhoods are going to soon have to make some difficult choices in life.

The cost of living for the past 12 to 18 months is hitting many over here hard
