In some countries, you are able to purchase really cheap cigarettes, for instance, in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
There, foreigners face many unusual habits and traditions and there is a special approach to the smoking as well.
In Bosnia and Herzegovina, it is not customary to go into shoes in someone’s house, take food or money with your left hand. And the smoking ritual is very different there.
In April 2004, the Parliament of the country passed a law prohibiting smoking in public places. Smoking is prohibited in Bosnia and Herzegovina:
At schools, colleges, universities.
In hospitals, clinics, hospitals.
In theaters and cinemas.
In museums and concert halls.
In public transport.
In restaurants.
The ban does not apply to cafes, bars and pubs.
Despite the ban, the country continues to smoke. A smoker can be seen anywhere. They smoke everywhere and a lot. Smoke alongside prohibition signs, blowing smoke straight into the sign. Doctors even smoke while they are receiving patients.
A smoker with a prohibitive sign will not surprise anyone, but if a person smokes while walking, the person will collect a lot of sidelong glances. According to the opinions of inhabitants of the country, only an alcoholic or a thug can do that.
It is not known whether there is a link between the number of smokers in Bosnia and Herzegovina and the price of cigarettes, but tobacco products in the country are much cheaper than those in other European countries. Cigarettes, which are sold in Europe for 5 euros, in Bosnia will cost twice cheaper. Foreigners say that they purchase cheap cigarettes there.
Of course, they compare domestic prices with their expenses at usual shops of their home countries.
However, it is not necessary to buy cigarettes in remote countries. You can order cheap cigarettes in your homeland, placing orders of cigarettes to web stores.
