Why don't they have enough? They were told prior to going in that they should bring enough tobacco and toiletries to last the duration so why did they run out? I'm a smoker and I would filled half my suitcase with baccy.

What I wondered to myself is why they can't buy some when they order shopping.

They can, it's just really expensive.

[Frank E]

...I guess if they smoked 20 a day and some of them do..you would have to take in about 1800 ciggies...thats 9 packs of 200.You wouldnt get much else in your suitcase.Then you probably get the few that smoke just the occassional few who probably took a small supply if any...then cadge.Does not take long for the supply to go down..

They can!....Well unless i've missed a rule change?....They've always bought it from the shopping budget in the past!!

I suppose if a fan was really caring for a housemate who was a smoker, they could send a "red cross" parcel full of tobacco into a housemate.

Or maybe not! PMSL

Pouches of tobacco take up far less space.

I also wouldn't expect my habbit to effect the shopping budget.

[Dannyboii]

I imagine they smoke a lot more than they normally do, due to boredom, so they probabally underestimated. I swear Jonas on CBB must have took like 5,000 in tho

[InOne]

Quite a lot of smokers in this year as well.

[King Gizzard]

probably cause they would turn into chain smokers

I would of always seen BB as a good place to quit smoking..

[MissKittyFantastico]

You could never quit smoking in an environment like that, it's way too stressful and claustrophobic I reckon.

[paper-cut-exit]

Maybe some of them have stashed cigs/tobacco in their suitcases, but afaik BB still ain't gave them their suitcases back. Plus i think they've been on a basic budget? which means a shortage of money to spend on cigs.

Big Brother house stressful...?

Now I've heard it all, if you think that is stressful then you've never truly felt stress.
