With cigarettes at about £1/$1.25 for 20, and 1 litre of ■■■■ about £1.70/$2.00, I think that I would smoke and drink a lot more too!!

That is also the reason why the customs officers check Polish trucks carefully at the border 
CUSTOMS SCANNER: The images from the customs scan showed that there were more than ordinary goods the truck was trying to get into Norway. 4 million cigarettes were hidden in the cargo.

Wow, that’s one way to get people to stop smoking. Did it work very well?
The prices are similar or even higher here in UK, but people still smoke. The “dark market” is working wonders and nobody seems to care. You find cigarettes or rolling tobacco brought from other countries in almost every corner shop
If you smoke, don’t move to Australia!
Although not listed, New Zealand comes in 2nd at US$22 per pack of 20 cigarettes.
On the other hand, the cost of a pack of cigarettes in Turkey is just slightly more than the cost of one cigarette in Australia!

Well, I guess it somehow did. Back in the 1980’s and 90’s around 30% of the population in Norway was smoking, Today the number is around 8%. On the other hand the use of snus (see link below) has gone up and is still rising, with around 16% of the population using this tobacco product.
Of course the prices is not the only reason for the decrease in the number of smokers. Health campaigns and strict regulations on where you can smoke is part of the reason too. And then there is snus, which is expensive too, so with the number of people using snus, nicotine is still a pretty good business in Norway.

I have to refer to the norwegian halling country rock group Hellbillies. They gave out a record called Pela Stein in 1993. On that record there is a track called I Morgo har eg fri. That text refers to the norwegian snus in this way. Ja, no går det som lus. Ja, no treng eg snus. Eg får seta meg eit vel. No er det snart slutt på arbeids vikun. I morgo har eg fri. Då kan eg svinge meg i dansen og få jentud`n på gli. Ho Birgjit er so lett og blid. I morgo so har eg fri. That text was also brought in on their later record called Cool Tour, given out in 2002.

Although at £14.70 for 20 in my corner shop (£14.15 at the supermarket if you buy 200 at a time), it is not the actual price that gets me angry 
, it is the fact that ‘duty free’ they can be bought for £3.30 for 20, and I object the giving the government £11 of my money from every packet to be bloody wasted !!
