Cigarettes are so insanely expensive in GB - as is pipe tobacco - that I really wonder at smokers' sanity.
I think a packet of Marlboro costs about €4.20 in Finland - that's half-a-crown EACH in old money!

Yeah, but don't forget that the average wage in EE is about 20% of in FI, so those Marlboros could be comparatively MORE expensive in EE.
