Smokers are hit hard but price of pint unchanged

- BY JOHN KIERANS

THE Government will increase the price of a packet of cigarettes by 50c in tomorrow's Budget.

The move will bring the cost for brands such as Silk Cut or Benson and Hedges up to €18.95 ~ among the EU's most expensive.

A Government source said: “The hike has been approved by the Cabinet.

“Smokers wont be happy but it is to save lives and at least the increase is better than last year when they went up by €1 a packet”

REDUCTION

There will be no increase in the price of a pint in the Budget because of the expected reduction in VAT for the hospitality sector.

STINA TIME KEEPS GUNNS FIRING

ARSENAL cemented their grip on fifth with a comfortable 4-1 win at struggling LEICESTER Alessia Russo and two-goal Stina Blackstenius (inset) stood out in a third straight win for the Gunners. Kelly Gago grabbed a stoppage-time equaliser for EVERTON in an entertaining 3-3 draw at VILLA. France international striker Gago said: “It was great to get two goals and we have to thank the fans for their support.” LIVERPOOL are still searching for their first point after goals from Toko Koga and Bethany England helped fourth-placed TOTTENHAM seal a 2-1 comeback win in a game that had 22 minutes of stoppage time after Reds’ forward Mia Enderby was taken off on a stretcher before going to hospital with a suspected neck injury.
