(Reuters) - France will raise the price of cigarettes to 10 euros ($11.35) a pack within three years, the health minister said on Thursday, confirming a strategy that will push tobacco costs to among the highest in Europe.

At present, a packet of 20 cigarettes costs roughly 7 euros ($7.95) in France, well below the roughly 10 euros charged in Britain and Ireland.

Cool Stirry Brah.

Cigs are trashy, I ain't buying them anywhere, much less France.

tl/dr: Don't care.

Wow, the French love taking down some heaters.

The last time I was in London I bought a half pack of 10 and a lighter at Heathrow and it ran me about $20 usd.

Within the next decade, France will have lost all autonomy to the growing Muslim population. So, I will likely not care what they do or do not.

They sell half packs in Europe? I was working with a guy from France the other day and his cigarette packs had some really disturbing images as a warning for health concerns.

They did in London and you're correct they do have some pretty disturbing images on the packs like black lungs, dead baby fetus ect.

In 2012 it was 5 Euros at the vending machine at the hotel in Berlin. In our connect back home in Chicago it was $11.

I feel like I bought a pack in Mexico a few years ago and there was pics of a dead fetus.
