My mother has asked me to buy duty free cigareetes. Is it cheaper to buy at LDW on the way out, or at MCO on the return journey.
Is duty free shopping available on the return back into the UK, some airports worldwide allow this.

For the usual brands it is generally cheaper to get them at Gatwick on your way out.[msnsmile2]

I have found them cheaper on some planes, than in duty free here or the usa.

There is a duty free World Shopping on arrival at Gatwick and I'm pretty sure I've seen signs saying you can preorder and collect on arrival.

BA are charging £24.00 for 200 B&H and L&B, maybe they have offers on the plane, as we were getting 400 for £28 last year.

I bought mine in May at the airport coming back from Orlando and paid about $72 for 400. I smoke Silk Cut. Sometime the airlines have a good offer on but depends on what the brand is. Hope this helps

Back garden, late at night when neighbours in bed and kids asleep.

Is it not worth trying to give up Tonish now that cigerette packets have so awful with more details .
My cousin went in for a operation for back trouble and he had smoked for years ,They closed is body and did not operate as he was full of cancer he lived in La and thewy told him it was due to smoking .
Well worth thinking about for your children.
He said if only I had stopped way back .

I know,I know, I know.

I smoke those small cigars and I really need to stop it. Aside from the health issue, there's also the shame factor. I honestly feel like a schoolboy sneaking off behind the bike sheds every time I try to surreptitiously indulge.

If you still enjoy smoking why give it up, as people do get cancer even if they have never smoked.

Or

Do what I've done and ditch the real cigarettes and use an electronic cigarette.
Since trying the electronic one back in April this year I haven't smoked a real one and not missed them at all.

I previously smoked 20/30 a day for 30 years and tried everything to give up including patches, hypnosis, zyban (twice).

And, the best think about these electronic ones is that you can "smoke" them anywhere, including on aeroplanes. The "smoke" they produce is actually water vapour, so it's perfectly legal.
