Countries should stop wasting money on militaries! Just send your opponent a few hundred tons of cigarettes and then just sit back and watch them fall like flies! 8)

I understand that most tobacco is a genetically modified crop these days.

Do they still grow tobacco in the Karpas?... believe it used to be widely grown up there.

Come again when you have reached retirement age... :wink:[/quote]

OK - I've reached retirement age, and I'm back! :lol: Thanks to those who supplied info - I had no idea, but it certainly explains what's happening.

The message on the pack should read 'Smoking may kill you - but thanks for the tax'

Somebody mentioned to me last night that this might be a cunning plan by Lighter manufactureres to increase their sales! :D

They were still doing it near Yialousa a few years back. Seems to be on a smaller scale. I don't know if you can still get the TC Karaman/Karman cigs but I tried some in the 90s and they were s*** - just as the TC who gave me them said they would be!

That's because they mix the tobacco with donkey faeces. :lol:
