Petition Reduce the price of Cigarettes

More details

Smokers have been hit by the budget, with tobacco prices up 2% above inflation from . Duty on hand-rolling tobacco was raised by 10%. A packet of economy cigarettes now costs 50p more, while premium brands are up 33p as the government pursues both cash and (APPARENT) health objectives.
I feel that the increase could drive smokers to use the black market.
