Less tobacco sold in 2009

Tuesday 16 February 2010

The amount of cigarettes sold in the Netherlands fell 10% and rolling tobacco 7% in 2009, according to new figures from the tobacco industry.

But total sales were up to over €4.1bn because of higher prices, the organisation said.

Some 25% of the Dutch population now smoke an average of between 15 and 20 cigarettes a day.

In the whole world is smoking is a big problem. But as we can see this issue little by little is going down, the real numbers show us that.

Monika..either that..or you start buying cigarettes from other countries where they are cheaper...spain, greece, poland, czech...etc

Kos: I doubt people are running off to Spain, Greece or any other country just to buy cigarettes - where's the savings in that?

Buzzer: i dont say they go to spain or greece or any other country to buy just cigarettes.People have friends in those countries or go for vacation. Once you are there you buy lots of cigarettes..due to EU regulation there is no tight control in the customs so you can bring many.just to mention 100 packets of malboro in poland is 200 euros in slovakia 140..here more than 490 if i am correct...so u see the difference..anbd dont forget ryanair...cheap flights
