Cigarettes Are No Longer Made In The UK
The last ever pack of cigarettes rolled off the production line in the UK.
Imperial Tobacco in Nottingham have moved their remaining interest to mainland Europe.
Smoking habits have changed and cigarette sales are still on the decline.
One time the factory produced 52 billion cigarettes a year and employed 7,000 workers.

New rules also state that from now on all cigarettes must be sold in plain packaging.
They will have images of the harful effects of smoking and must carry extra warnings.

Moving production to the continent is wrong.
Loads of people still smoke in the UK.

Looks like the cigarette industry has finally felt the pinch.
Plain packaging, no smoking in public places and high duty are major factors.
Now you can't even see them in the shops.

Serious how they shift production elsewhere for bigger profits.
Keep the bastards honest.
