I mean Europe in general, we are crushed under taxes over here... I can tell you that in France, many buy these bags of tobacco and paper + filters to make their own cigarettes...
I took a coffee break with some students today, and they were outside speaking about what brand is better/cheaper... One young woman was talking about a brank that is cheap, 3-4€ a pack. Student are usually broke... But the average price was at 5.60€ in 2009.
There is people smuggling cigarettes around here... From countries in the European Union who have less taxes etc...
But I'm not a smoker, so I cant tell you for sure...
