What Date Are 10 Cigarettes Being Phased Out?

[FrillyPancake]

Will I still be able to buy a pack of 10 at lunchtime today from Tesco?

Thanks guys

Today, I think, FP.

[FrillyPancake]

Aw really!?! Does that mean they will still have until COP today? Or IS THAT IT?!?!?!?

Apparently tomorrow packets of ten will not be sold from tomorrow 19th May 2017

So, that sounds about right as to what I read too - does this mean that they will sell them until tomorrow then - or will they have banished stock of them before then?

[Tilly2]

Sorry. I thought it was today.

Tried to get some for my Mum last week in Sainsburys and was told they had run out and wouldn't be re-stocking. So you may not even be able to get them.

You may be lucky and find some still in stock today , but our corner shop no longer has any 10 packs.
It is also illegal to sell fags that are not in the plain unbranded packs from tomorrow and the minimum pack of rolling tobacco will be 30g at around £16

I pay £9 - £10 for a pack of 30g.

^ I don't smoke so I am guessing. I buy baccy for my daughter at the moment I can get a pack(10 g I think) for £6.25 so I was basing it on that.
