price of cigarettes in different countries

I saw a list of the price of a pack of marlboros in different countries.
the highest is Australia whose other smoking restriction laws are very tough too-- the eqiv of 665b, NZ not far behind 560b 3rd Norway 445b. UK and Ireland at400B. Thai listed at 100b. The tax income must be huge.

Re: Starbucks Coffee Shops

i do not patronise SBs but walking past have never thought it attracted low-life ex-pats and if you find that seeing older expats men with young girls offensive you had better stay home and shop on-line.
