American Smokers In Paris Buy U.S. Cigarettes At $1.50 A Pack
Paris, (UP)—Parisians are both amused and amazed these days at the spectacle of nicotine-starved Americans in Paris buying American cigarettes on the French black market—at about $1.50 a pack.
The recourse of importing American cigarettes via the mails has been effectively stymied by a recent French government decree tripling customs duties on foreign cigarettes —raising the duty from 30 to 90 francs (about 75 cents) per pack.
It's not at all amusing for the Americans concerned. They hear and read tales of other Americans—mostly military personnel—selling their
they must scrouenge around and engage in under-the-counter transactions to keep up any sort of supply for their own use.
The sufferers are a considerable group of American civilians in Paris who operate independently of the army or the government service—especially the Paris foreign correspondents' corps.
Uolite embassy personnel and the military and its satellite civilian services, these Americans are not permitted to buy at the well-stocked army PXs.
This duty, together with original purchase price in the United States, postage and wrapping charges, brings the price of the legally imported cigarette almost up to the level of the black market cost.
Consequently, American cigarettes, where they once were obtainable at almost every corner cafe and barber shop, they can now only be found at de luxe bars, night clubs and hotels.
The dearth of American cigarettes often places the American in Paris in an embarrassing social and business position. Americans who are reduced to offering French cigarettes or even "mooching" cigarettes from their French friends, rapidly fall into a state of social disgrace.
