Cheap Cigarettes, Discount Tobacco and Cigars Online - Is It Legal?


Many people online today still believe that buying tobacco products via the Internet is an experience that is doomed to failure. Either, the package will go astray, or the HM Customs and Excise storm troopers will smash down the door and abseil from the roof to collect the pennies that they are allegedly due for "tax evasion".

That may on the face of it seem silly to some of you guys out there, but let us consider the propaganda issued by the UK Government before we find this amusing.

I'm a smoker myself and the prices that we are expected to pay in the United Kingdom are outrageous to say the least. As far as this Government are concerned we can just do as we are told and pay up!! I don't think that's right, it's time for a change.

I first started buying Cigarettes on-line some 5 years ago and it's not been a smooth ride by any means. It was difficult to find a good supplier, HM Customs & Excise had something to say, and sent a bill for every sleeve I managed to get! Until, I realized that it wasn't me that was doing something wrong. It was our duly elected Government that was acting outside the law. Now I'm left very much alone to get on with it and make the savings that I'm entitled to make as a citizen of the European Union.

These savings do not only apply to me, it's your right to make the choice and start saving money online today!

I came across a website that clearly states the law as far as buying cigarettes, cigars and tobacco via the Internet goes and it opened my eyes as to how much I'd been missing out on. The website www.discountcigarettesuk.com is an online Tobacconist that delivers direct to your door in the UK. Their cheap, reliable, informative with a delivery time of between 3 and 5 days direct to your door. You can't get better than that. I've never lost an order.

As I'm writing this it's beginning to appear like an advert for Discount Cigarettes UK but It's not really. As a smoker without money to throw away I feel like I'm getting a quality service and knowing that many of you guys out there are in the same position as me then It's my duty as a web user to share this information with every UK resident that will want to save their hard earned cash, now and in the future.
