The main problem with this dangerous item is that its more powerful than the one designed for the UK, and there are some minor cosmetic changes.

Same goes for the ****

Seriously,

Its because different cultures have evolved biologically to have a higher resilience to certain chemicals like.

Tar
Nicotine
RipOffadon
HiTaxadine
Polyshaftaconsumerhydroxide

Cigarettes in some countries have much higher tar content than those sold in the UK.

Why are they different, do the imports give you cancer, rather than the UK ones which give premature babies??

I think I'll stick with the UK ones!!!

Anyway maybe the imports burn faster, need different types of lighters, and all the UK smokers are jealous, as they come in different styles!!! - Anyway I prefer to keep my warranty!!

Any way time for a *** break..... today I will be mostly smoking Marlboro Lights from Holland! (Seriously - Just come back from a LONG weekend!!)

They look the same as a UK one, but the warnings are in Dutch and half the price!!!

God this really all does sound too familar!!

Do the 'dangerous' **** not go through an SFA (Special *** Approval) test before they can be used in the UK?
