Will it be cheaper to get my fags at Gatwick airport or do I buy them in Asda before I go! Also does anyone no about the rules of smoking in Florida?

Most restaurants are completely non-smoking. A lot of hotel rooms are non-smoking. Theme parks have smoking in designated areas only. Oh, and the legal age in the US is 18.
No idea whether they are cheaper in duty free. You'll need to wait for a smoker to come along to help with that one. :)

Definately duty free...around 50% of the normal price.
As others have said, many areas are designated non-smoking, including the airport.
Please don`t let the side down and light up in non designated areas in the parks. Even though I am a smoker, it really infuriates me to see others flaunting the rule like several British people I saw in July.....one "lady" was even smoking at a dining table outside the Rose & Crown at Epcot which is definately a non smoking location!

Yes, the term fag has a completely different meaning here. :)
The only indoor areas that allow smoking are non food serving drink establishments (bars, pubs). Smoking has become quite restricted here.
The average cost of a ten pack carton according to the sign in my local Publix is about $27! :eek: Expensive habit.
Outdoor smoking is restricted in some places as well (in addition to the theme parks). Not that you'll be visiting hospital, but many do not allow smoking anywhere on their property. Same for some museums, and the like.
Just be certain there are no prohibitive signs before lighting up and you should be ok.

DH is a smoker and always buys in the duty free. He would strongly agree with Slowhand as it infuriates him to see people lighting up in non-smoking areas. There are enough areas in the parks for smokers and you'll have no problem finding somewhere. A lot of the smoking areas are quite close to the restrooms. He never smokes in the hotel room and always manages to find somewhere which is designated for smokers.

I also got some b & h in goodings for about 1.75 a packet
(all prices in pounds, my pound sign key is not working)
