Icmeler Online Holiday Forum & Reviews - Turkey

... Evening, Just a quick question to ask any of you current holidaymakers in Icmeler (who smoke) how much popular branded Cigarettes are at the moment? .. Got Mrs G asking before we arrive in 34 days! ... would like to know before she dives in and spends a fortune on duty free's on the way in!!! Cheers

L&B (Lambert & Butler) are 5.5tl in the supermarket opposite Blue Rainbow and I can confirm that these were genuine, Marlbourgh were 9tl. There were Superkings available but didn't ask the price.

Got a friend some Marlbourgh at Duty Free at Dalaman that worked out at 74tl so a lot cheaper.

Thanks for that, much appreciated ... I think she can wait til we get there to buy her 'weed' ... I don't smoke and just put up with her habit!

Has she tried electronic cigarettes, I quit smoking on December 16th using them (I was a 20-a-day man - even more on holiday) and haven't looked back since, still use it daily and think I'm now addicted to that instead lol although I have reduced the nicotine e-liquid down from 18mg to 9mg.

Another bonus is it's saved me a fortune (all goes towards holiday funds lol)

... Lol, thanks for replying ... Nope, as Mrs G is adamant that she 'enjoys' her tabs .. try as I might over the years, I've even tried the 'if you stopped smoking we could have an extra week or 2 in Icmeler every year!' .. but she still doesn't bite!

Well if she's anything like me she'll only quit when she's ready. Looking back I can't see anything positive about smoking: bad smells, bad health, skinny wallet, lack of taste etc...

I know I've only been stopped 5 months or so but I feel so much better, fitter and have extra money in the bank that I never had before... Also with the e-cig it's stopped craving for junk food/sweets as that's usually the case and the reason that a lot of people put weight on after quitting.

I even managed to talk my mum into using the e-cigs and although she still smokes around 5-10 per day now I think she's also noticing the difference (she was smoking 30-40 per day up to that point).

Good for you! ... Just hope Mrs G sees sense soon! ..... so when you in Icmeler? ... 4 weeks this coming Friday for our 2 weeks of bliss!

Hi guys

Just returned from icmeler on friday 7th june... Didnt get round to getting my duty free cigs at airport so had to buy on resort... was buying 20 Superkings in hotel / local supermarket for 6.50Tr a Pkt.. 200 in shops elsewhere were 65tr.. worked out about £2.50 ish a Pkt against £2.00 a Pkt d/free..

I wonder if the Marlborough are genuine for 9TL. I need to buy some for a friend and that is so cheap if that's the case.

Sami they would be about £1-£2 cheaper on the plane for 200

I got 200 Marlbourgh for a friend at Dalaman on the way back in May for 74tl which worked out at £28 on my debit card
