As someone who's smoked for nearly 40 years I think that the UK market ceased to matter for the fag companies a long time ago. Loose tobacco hasn't changed over the years but I'm convinced that the standard filter cigarette (B&H, Marlboro, Embassy) has seen a marked decrease in quality. Maybe because they sit on the shelf for much longer due to the switch to cheaper brands, maybe not.
I think most people who love fags end up smoking rollups as much for the flavour as the cost.
