Harry as usual youre probably right, i havent bought Marlboro lights for ages. I tell you what i did buy recently which has increased in price from 38 PLN to 48 PLN in just a year and thats a bottle of butane gas.

OMFG you have got to be kidding me, that's about 1.7 euros
a normal pack of cigarettes costs 4.50 euros, so 21 Zlotych!

And thank god I am from holland;)
In england a pack of cigarettes costs 9euros so the double in holland,

You might want to remember that because the tax on cigarettes in Poland doesn't meet the EU minimum tax level, you can only take 200 cigarettes back to Holland from Poland.

Apparently Poland is now a full fiscal member of the EU and thus the limitation has been scrapped - though it's still in force for quite a few of the eastern countries. The recent tax rise in cigarettes helped to seal that particular deal, so I believe.

HMRC in the UK don't have the 200 cigarettes limitation anymore, anyway.

Typically 8PLN. They want to hike it up to 10PLN in the near future to bring it in line with European prices. The downside of harmonisation.

Pretty sure you won't find Benson's any more in Poland, afaik they took the licence away because too many people were smuggling them to England.

You might find some old stock around but I havn't seen any in Warsaw for almost 2 years now.

could be worse, the ausralian government is trying to raise the cost to $20 for a pack of 30. currently that pack would cost $11-14 depending what you buy and where you buy them.

It's an effective deterrent against buying them but some just budget in other ways.

Not for cigarettes, or at least not for Marlboro: all of them leave the factory with the price printed on the bottom of the pack.

Although the price has only recently (i.e. within the last four weeks) gone up to 9.95. Used to be 9.20.

Yes but beer also has a suggested price on it but they sell it for more. I'm telling you, they cost 8PLN a pack here.

That's odd: I spent last week going round south east Poland (1600km worth) and all the shop were selling at recommended price.

Was supposed to be going there early next month but have decided instead to take a week off, so am doing five nights in a superb 15th century up in north east Poland. Can't wait!

They are up to 9, sometimes 10 PLN here too. How quickly such things change! It depends where you buy them but there are maximum prices attached.

It's possible in border regions - it's very easy in Przemysl to buy Ukranian cigarettes for example.
