The Price of Tobacco Products/ Cigarettes to go Up in July

This is where our community discusses almost anything! While we're mainly a Cambodia expat discussion forum and talk about expat life here, we debate about almost everything. Even if you're a tourist passing through Southeast Asia and want to connect with expatriates living and working in Cambodia, this is the first section of our site that you should check out. Our members start their own discussions or post links to other blogs and/or news articles they find interesting and want to chat about. So join in the fun and start new topics, or feel free to comment on anything our community members have already started! We also have some Khmer members here as well, but English is the main language used on CEO. You're welcome to have a look around, and if you decide you want to participate, you can become a part our international expat community by signing up for a free account.

The price of Ara went up maybe 12 months ago to 2000 riel a pack. But recently they started squeezing 21 cigarettes into a 20 pack.
And, as an added bonus, the mom n pop shop across the road will give 500 riel for 2 empty packs (don't know why, but they do).

This is inflation gone mad. In July a pack of Ara is going to cost me around 1500-1600 riel a pack. Must be time to start thinking about giving up before I go broke.

:unknown:
A blast from the past. This is really funny. How much for a packet of Ara today ?
Seriously, there is a lot of inflation on food costs, but the price of cigarettes hasn't increased much in 10 years.

I thought the deal was you give them four empty packs and you get a free pack . But then, I don't smoke.

On the flip side, I am happy to be living in a country that cares about my health and is taking appropriate measures to insure I live a long, happy and smoke-free life! Kudos.
Just saw this post and it reminded me of a new American study just released. It's as I always suspected: pollution is as bad as passive smoking - at least for miscarriages. How will this change anything for countries that have jumped on the anti- smoking bandwagon for health reasons? Will they also control car and factory pollution in the same way? Thoughts?
