Default Smokers Help

I was thinking of going on a day trip abroard to stock up on cigarettes as it's costing me a fortune. Whilst looking on the internet for prices I stumbled across the website below. Surely this must be a scam, how can they send cigarettes this cheap in the post? Has anyone had any dealings with such companies?

Cigarettes and tobacco dutyfree online shop. Buy online cheap Marlboro Cigarettes - UK.All-cigs.com

just quit!

or pay on your credit card and if they dont turn up, get your money back

I know in the past you could buy ciggies from gibralter online and get them sent to your home. they were cheaper, but not that cheap!

How easy is it though to get your money back on your credit card if they dont turn up?

The way to look at it is to imagine them going through your chest bone with a Skil saw, pulling it apart, stopping your heart while they do the bypass surgery, hopefully re-starting your heart-wiring the chest back together and putting up with the pain for some time after-thats if they catch the problem before you have the coronary. It happened to me! Of course you might even have to sit in front of your doctor while he tells you about the lung cancer you have got!

Just trying to do you a favour from an ex heavy smoker-thank goodness, and you would not believe how much extra cash you suddenly seem to have I just hope I stopped in time.

Looks like there might be a risk of the Customs catching up with the ciggies when they ship them to you-but its a hell of a saving though.

I've used tobaccoonline.co.uk, once they came, another time they didn't , didn't get my money back. Used another website, cannot remember name and they came through ok too, and another one I used they had the tax to pay, so I told them I don't want them.

Overall, probably even on uk prices still.

I quit 10 years ago and it was easy. Best thing I ever did . It was doctors orders though as I have a dicky ticker which made it easier.

I also quit a year back and am so glad I did.

Put a bit of weight on, but spent my *** money on a new MTB yesterday which should help to lose the weight.

I used to smoke circa 1980, smokes were 50p for a pack of 20 in equivalent local currency (Belgium). When I retuend to the UK, a pack was 2.50 quid, truck that, so as Horndean Special Brew was 58p a pint, I took that on instead. Got crappers on 6 quid!!!
