A few months ago I priced a carton of Marlboros at Euromarche. 

While a carton is about $60 in the US, here it was $15.

As for Benson & Hedges, don't know (they might not even have them) but the price would be similiar to Marlboros, I'm sure.

I don't know if the have B&H, but for some reason I am thinking they don't.

Marlboros run about $15, as Allie said, and Winstons run about $12.

Just do what I do....don't smoke..goes down well with the ladies .......

Welcome to Riyadh anyway:P

Thank you guys. for you responses..
Well It will be difficult for me if B&H isn't available there..
Mirfarali.. I know quit smoking is very easy.. even i have tried it by myself many times hahahah

Smoking stinks!

wel, to ur query, B&H is very much available here. a pack of 20 is for 6 riyals i guess

you smoke, shababy??

if u want me to quit, i will

You certainly know by now that smoking is disgusting to nonsmokers.  Also harms your health and your money goes up in smoke!

I would say it's time to quit

as Qazi said, its easy...i quit smoking many times too

You TRY many times. 

You only quit ONCE

true true

Agree with you.. But my timing is very good. I don't smoke so much like a chain smoker. I have few timings only.. Like before taking the bath No smell.. After Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner. and just 5 to 6 cigaret in a day..Because i don't smoke in my home, don't smoke in office. i was smoking more.. but i have reduced so much.. and maybe after shifting to Riyadh i will be able to fulfill Alliecat words..

Shahab Thank you buddy for quoting the price. As its same price in PK.

Granted.  But the OP was looking for advice on a product he uses, not for a judgment on his smoking.

I personally find the incredibly strong scents that many Saudi men wear to be more offensive.

Whether you approve or dislike smoking wasn't the question asked.

The REALLY offensive smell is BO    It hasn't happened too often (Alhamdulillah!!) but on Wednesday an Egyptian guy was in my office (a manager!) and he smelled so bad that when he had left, the smell continued to linger, just hanging in the air.

I borrowed room freshener from the maint. staff cleaning down the hall and gave the office a good spray.

Somebody needs to talk to that guy about deordorant.

i hope that egyptian manager is in here too

i hope that egyptian manager is in here too

³ó³Ü³ó???Ìý

MisterStretch --> You got the point.. thanks..
Alliecat ---> If you smoke or don't smoke.. these are normal manners that we use scents on daily bases.. even i do eat mint gum after smoking... i don't have issue of smell ..  anyhow..Thank you guys for your reply...
Best Regards.
Qazi..

Qazi,

I was talking to shababy about quitting, not you!

I was talking about an Egyptian with body odor, not you!Ìý

So thanks for the mint gum update, but I wasn't talking about you!

Being the first person to reply with prices of cigarettes, that was me and it was for you!

Best of luck.

ha ha ha
You can find any thing in Saudi Arabia . Benson&Hedges ,  captagon , spirits

Nelson u know that?? I thought it was only in India..
well the location of the store:
on Olaya road, when Faisaliyah Tower is on your right, cross the signal and after about 150 metres, you will find a petrol station. theres a convenient store there and they are kept next to the counter....the price for a 20 pack is just 3 or 4 riyals!!!

PS.
Allie, Shahab is a polite smoker, I asked him not to smoke when we met recently and he was kind enough not to.

Thanks shahab that was cool of you.

welcome salman...
its just give respect and take respect policy thingy

yes there is Benson & Hedges here - my supervisor smokes them like a dragon. I will ask him where he gets them. Shahab - long time no talk - and yes i still owe you a trip in my compound.

I believe that I have read somewhere that the Surgeon general has warned ALL of humanity that cigarette smoking is detrimental to ones health.....

maybe someone should google that up for me?

musicman ... people won't quit till they are ready.  You know that.

hey ray...long time...i know u must be busy with ur work as i heard it is goin on in full swing...and u dont need to ask about benson & hedges as it is found in each and every store...

I don't want to frighten anyone but -
my grandfather smoked all his life and ended up losing weight.
He had both legs amputated,
lower portion of his stomach and 1/2 meter of intestine removed,
1/4 of his right lung removed,
lived on kaolin and morphine until he died of heart attack.
live to love, love to live.
I still miss him.
Enjoy your cigarettes while you can .
