Cigarettes and alcohol

over the limit?

Seen at the airport in Barcelona

Duty free allowance to UK 3200 per person……….to the rest of the EU 800?

So much for the healthy option! Cigarettes come in the 1000 pack variation. A whole suitcase just for the duty free!

1000 Marboro

3litres €41

3 litres of “Rare” J&B cost €41 in Tenerife the same sum of money would get you one litre in Sweden.

Or how about a special offer on the Johnny Red Label? with Coke branding for successSpecial offer

    I don’t understand. The UK is in the EU, as is Spain of course, so why should the Brits be allowed more ciggies? Not that I care of course as I’ve been nicotine free, you’ll be glad to hear, for the past three months :-).

    There is obviously a reason but the UK’s special treatment. What could it be?

    It could be a fantastical plot by Spanish authorities to kill off lots of the English by enocouraging them to smoke more than othere EU nations…???

    I think it has something to do with the fact that there is no duty free anymore, and that it is only cheaper in Spain…I still think that psychowerks has a point though!

    Psychowerks, perhaps it is Spanish revenge for Gibraltar!!
