    Price of a Marloboro Light pack ?

    Hi guys,

    How much cost a marloboro light pack?

    At the airport duty free, it was around 10 HKD, is it the same price in town?

    Thanks

    No - there is still duty on tobacco, so duty free does actually mean something.

    About HK$30 in town I think.

    Note though that your duty-free allowance is only 60 cigarettes (3 packs), and only then if you have been out of HK more than 24 hours, so you're hardly going to save a fortune.

    The duty on a pack of 20 is about $24.

    are you talking just "price" or do you include future medical bills in the cost?

    Ah but if you are a HK resident that's only $100 per visit!

    Indeed. So is the fine for smoking in pretty much any building these days. Giving up could save you a fortune, not to mention your life.

    The Macau Ferry duty free sells 3 packs for HK$51.

    Cheaper than the UK! Equivalent there would be in the region of HK$70

    Best bet is to go to the Philippines, about HK$4 or 5 there.
