I would contact Customs and Excise and see how you go about gaining a licence to import them. They will advise you of the legal side too.

I could imagine in England is the same as in the United States, here depends of the size and normally are from 35.00 Dls per year, so I think it will be somewhere around 70 pounds to set your box per year..☺

You can get them from B&M at very reasonable prices. They range from about £2 to £15 depending on which brand or type you buy.

One of many theories about the reasons behind such a move is that due to the increased taxation of cigarettes, many UK smokers have been turning to illegally imported cigarettes, which have actually reduced the amount of money the government recieve from the increased taxation on tobacco, and that by banning smoking in public houses, the availability of imported cigarettes and tobacco will be reduced; as much of the trade in these goods is done within pubs (but this is just a theory).\n\nThe alternate revenue that the government will recieve is already in effect, if you look at the statistics you will find that taxation on purchased goods, petrol and especially coucil tax have increased a staggering amount, while the weekly earning and benifits have remained the same.\nIt is doubtless that once the effects of lessened tobacco sales have reached the treasury, the poll tax will be extremely high, petrol will be as expensive as gold and alcohol and spirits will be taxed through the roof.\n\nI personally decided to quit a couple of weeks ago, just before this decision came in - but I still disagree completely with the governments infringement on civil liberties.\n\nSmoking is legal - cigarettes are legal, therefore it should not be a governmental decision on which public houses should and should not allow smoking. These matters should be left to the discretion of the pub landlord or the brewery. If a landlord chose to allow smoking in his bar, non-smokers would be free to seek out alternative pubs and clubs that would cater to non-smokers.\nThat's what freedom of choice is all about.

in greece they are anywhere from 1.50-4.00 euros for a pack depending on the brand and if it's imported or not. The cheapest place to buy them is at the street markets

There are in the main three types of tax/duty you may be charged if you import more goods than is your personal allowance when entering the U.K. from a third country (do not confuse this with third-world country). These 'taxes' are:\n\n1. Customs duty. (Applicable to all goods entering the U.K. from countries outside the European Union - calculated as an ad-valorum duty {invoice price abroad + transport/shipping costs +delivery costs}).\n\n2. Excise duty. (Applicable to Tobacco, cigarettes, alcohol, oils etc - calculated by weight, alcoholic strength and volume).\n\n3. VAT. (This is an ad-valorum tax, levied on all goods - in the U.K there are three rates, 17.5% standard rate, 5% reduced rate {domestic gas and electricity} and zero rate {food, childrens clothing, newspapers and books etc. There are also items exempt from tax of which there are few and far between.)\n\nIf you declare the goods at a Customs 'red point' then you may be asked to pay customs duty (depending on where you purchased your goods), you will have to pay excise duty (if they are tobacco or alcohol products) and you will have to pay VAT in addition to customs and excise duty.\n\nAny transgression i.e. using the Green Channel is deemed as smuggling and action will be taken, the least of which is seizure of the goods.\n\nTravelling from the European Union is totally different - there is no onus on the traveller to declare goods purchased in a member state as they are deemed to have paid all relevant European (which includes the U.K.) taxes. However if a traveller is stopped by a Customs Officer and the traveller has excise goods, he or she may be asked by the Officer to account for those goods - if after interview the Officer is satisfied the goods are for resale and/or money or favours have been exchanged for the goods, then the goods and any vehicle used to transport the goods are deemed forfeit to the Crown. (This policy does not include accessionary countries - Poland, Czech Republic etc) \n\nUntil 2005 H.M. Customs and Excise were assigned the collection of this revenue (indirect taxation) and all proceeds from payment of duties and VAT went to H.M. Treasury, detections that resulted in seizure only (some non-EU and all EU seizures) were completed with destruction of the goods. \n\nSince 2005 H.M. Customs and Excise have been combined with the Inland Revenue who dealt with direct taxation (income tax and the like). \n\nAll revenue collected is passed to H.M. Treasury for distrubution to the various Governmental and non-Governmental Departments for use to 'benefit' the public (politicians decide).\n\nHope this helps and give a little more detail - or there again muddies the waters.......

One of the best questions I have seen on here yet,  My opinion, because the government makes money off of them. For each pack of cigarettes sold, the government gets about $1.00 (probably more now) If they were considered a drug it stands to reason that they would be an illegal drug and the government cannot make money off illegal drugs. (We could argue seizures of such but it still wouldn't balance the scales)

No limit, just enough for personal consumption and not resale. Like going though customs.

It is not illegal to buy cigarettes online from a diffeent state.  It IS illegal to fail to pay New York State and City cigarette sales tax on those cigarettes.  You should buy the cigarettes online, compute the tax on the cigarettes and mail it to the city and state.  Otherwise, you are breaking the law.\n\nBut, of course, what you should really do is what New York City wanted you to do when they raised the tax in the first place - quit smoking.  One half of all people who smoke will die from it.

Yes. Lovely. Can still get them - I think they're sold as an aid to stopping smoking now. Still the same though.\n\nGet them at your local chemists shop.
