<p>Very disappointed in ye OAE. The current Water Rats advice is that there are <span>no limits to the alcohol and tobacco you can bring in from</span> <abbr title="European Union">EU</abbr> <span>countries. BUT they also advise that you’re "more likely to be asked questions if you have more than the following amounts" - for tobacco it's one kilo.

I accept I might be wrong though.</span></p>

<p>I'm trying to crack Sue's code here. Why would we need to know that anyone's going to buy tobacco, even down at the corner shop? Why would anyone need to travel so far for a day to buy tobacco? Why would anyone inflict 2 weeks' self isolation on herself for a smoke? Since the amount of baccy is within government guidelines, won't she have smoked it all before the 14 days' isolation is up, granted she's this desperate?

Since the amount of baccy is within government guidelines, won't she have smoked it all before the 14 days' isolation is up, granted she's this desperate? So I'm still working on decoding all this Brussels tobacco/euros/cash/card/whole day saga. If I only had my odd friend Saga from The Bridge to cut to the chase. But then that would be Scandi rather than Brussels. This will be a 3-pipe solution at least - so, Sue, save me some of that tobacco. </p> Definitely cardtag:harringayonline.com,2020-09-29:844301:Comment:12953422020-09-29T08:34:38.974ZGiles Thomashttps://harringayonline.com/profile/GilesThomas

<p>Thanks for reply jj. Yes I know that I'll have to self isolate for 2 weeks, that's been organised. The amount of tobacco that'll be bought is within the government guide lines. so should be alright.</p>
<p>But thanks for the advice.</p>

<p>You shouldn't really blurt out on this site that you are going to Bruxelles to buy tobacco.</p>
<p>If you are going on Eurostar (where I work as on board crew!) note that there have been occassional checks by UK Border Force on arrival. I know people who have been caught and got into 'trouble' given the amounts of tobacco they had on their person.</p>
