were to buy ciggerettes in nimes

hello me and the wife are going to france the weekend and are looking at buying are ciggerette their



I want to know if you can buy lambert and butler in the tabacs shops



or if i can buy on the aeroplane



please let me know and prices would be great

I think you may have asked this question because you are under the impression that cigarettes in France are still relatively cheap. There was actually a big increase in duty on cigarettes three years ago, making them only slightly cheaper than in the UK. The recent drop in the pound has wiped out even that difference.

You certainly cannot buy cigarettes on the airplane itself. That stopped years ago for journeys within the EU.





And yes , prices in France are now just about the same as in the UK.

The airport has a tabac selling cigs at normal French prices.





Cigs are about €4.50 - €5.50 for 20 depending on size and origin. UK brand cigs are hard to find and cost more.
