Last year was kind of interesting because every time I went to continental Europe from London, I got about 10 requests to bring cartons of cigarettes back because the tax in the UK is enormous. I've had friends quit smoking because of the cost of cigarettes, so... yay!

The customs woman at Heathrow was CONVINCED I was smuggling in something, and she was leaning toward cigarettes. She also said to me at some point "are you aware that illegal drugs are illegal?"
