can we have a microeconomics expert come in to explain this fall in ciggie prices despite increase in official taxes? I have studied these before in my Diploma in Business management course, just too lazy to go through my first sem notes.

Bad news for sellers of contraband cigs. Their business increased 20% when price was increased.
contraband cigs are mostly consumed by foreign construction workers and lau ah pek, normal smoker easily will get caught and fine heavily for possession. I kena before burnt a big hole in pocket. Why they never catch the foreign construction workers ? The workers even gave me 1 stick or 2 daily. It is so unfair.
first time i ever see ciggy price go down, calls for a celebration...
Tharman signed an agreement with Singapore Casket last week
I am a non-smoker and am unaware of the fluctuations in ciggy prices. However, I notice that many senior citizens who were once smokers had stopped smoking.This is bad news for the medical industry and many hospitals that are now springing up as there is a potential loss of customers with ailments related to smoking. So the drop in prices must be an effort to boost the number of smokers.
After a health scare few months back, I'm now cutting down on my ciggies..
Its now one pack for 2 days.. Thats means 10 sticks a day unlike back then when I would smoke a pack every day..
Its very tempting in Malaysia where many brands of ciggies sell for less than RM12 a pack..
But I'm sticking to a pack for 2 days, and eating alot of Hacks sweets inside the office..
