Should I bring cigarettes to Turkey for exchange?
I read that cigarettes are very expensive in Turkey. and many take for exchange as barter or as a discount when buying from local merchants. Does it make sense to bother? I don't smoke myself.

In Ukraine, they are also expensive, so there is no particular point in bothering. There is no point in bothering with vodka either, it is not held in high esteem by them this year. They asked for champagne - they really have champagne disgusting, so you can take a bottle and exchange it for souvenirs.

Cigarettes are really expensive there, but it makes no sense to bring them for exchange, the Turks smoke their own or ask for duty free cigs. And to change cigarettes for goods is an extra hemorrhoid for the same money, you still need to find who will change with you. I also remember on my first trip I brought six bottles of vodka there, like for an exchange, so in the end we drank it together with the Turks;). As a means of communication and making contacts, it’s better to take vodka, find someone to drink with, and then agree on skidos;)))

I don’t know how much your cigarettes cost, I figured it out from Russian prices. If 30-40 euros of benefit for you is a reason to drag two blocks of cigarettes across the border, and then try to barter them to someone, then get confused, there will be additional impressions from your vacation.

I don’t know yet how this year - in the past I had to buy a pack of Marlboro Gold (Turkey, Kemer) on the last day. I bought a pack of 77 cents at home, in Kemer it cost 10 USD. The difference is huge for all cigarettes and alcohol. But bothering with barter or sale is useless. I'll suggest a trick. I just gave the bartender 1-2 cigarettes every day at the bar just like that and he served great and poured cool)

My husband and I do not smoke, but we usually take cigarettes and chocolates, but not for barter, but simply as souvenirs: for the transfer driver, for example. It happens that you have to call an electrician or plumber to the room, so we give a pack of Parliament as payment. Or we can just give it to a gardener, a waiter in a restaurant or a beach boy, not for the sake of the best place on the beach,))) but just like that. We leave the maid a dollar and a small chocolate bar or one thing (depending on the quality of cleaning).

as a bribe or toady to waiters, bartenders and when settling at the reception, it’s quite! Marlboro was held in high esteem.

thank you all for the comments!
at the cost of cigarettes in Kiev, a pack of branded 1-1.5 dollars per pack.
as a tip - goes one on one ...
especially leaving a pack of cigarettes for a maid is somehow strange ..))

Yes, it is strange to leave any thing to an unfamiliar person as a tip. I worked as a waitress, I would not like it if guests began to stick chocolate or cigarettes to me. If there is no money for a tip, it is better to just say thank you with words.

How much I brought to Turkey and alcohol, and souvenirs - do not count. I handed it not on the first and not on the last day of my stay, as if by the way, the result was very well visible on the next visits. We even rejoiced at small Ukrainian flags. It will not work to make money on the Turks, they are docks in these matters, and they will appreciate the attention in the form of a gift (any), rest assured. By the way, Turks smoke and drink very little.
