STOP BUYING CIGARETTES!!!
    #10156625 - 04/13/09 07:56 AM (14 years, 11 months ago)

I don't know about where you all live but; Where I'm at Ciggarette tubs that used to be $9.00 are now $25.00:mad::shocked:

Let me make this plain to all my fellow smokers out there; By paying this REDICULOUS tax, we are essentially bowing down:bowdown: and sucking Obamas Dick...:blowme:

STOP IT! PLEASE!! (I know it's hard) (Quitting)(not Obamas dick) but;...:calledajoke:

WE HAVE TO COME TOGETHER (as smokers) and say NO! we will not pay...!!
I smell another Boston Tea Party; Anybody else?

...You're either for us, OR AGAINST US ...if you buy another pack at this rediculous price; You should be brought out into the street and shot!!! You buy, They Win! STOP IT! PLEASE! This tax will only stick; IF WE COMPLY! So STOP COMPLYING!

...For the love of GOD!:cruelworld:

I just bought a pack of Parliament lights yesterday, which were usually about $5-$6 before this new tax; I bout it for less than $6.


I've never been addicted to cigarettes. :shrug:

i dunno... as someone who rolls my own, i don't feel bad spending 8 dollars a week on a pouch of tobacco. how long does that tub last you? a month? i mean even at the price you're only spending like a 1/14th of what people who smoke the manufactured cigarettes spend a week. maybe you should think about cutting down a little or rolling thinner cigarttes?

Start weening yourselves off of nicotine and smoke more weed. Bud prices are going down so it sounds like pretty soon it will be cheaper anyway ;P

people pay what it costs for the hospitals to take care of their lunges. cigarettes are not a profit business for the state anymore, since it costs them more than it brings in.

if you dont want to pay dont smoke. very simple and you will costs the hospitals alot less 2.

If everyone stopped smoking cigarettes, tobacco companies would go under which means that the states, under the massive settlement agreement, would be absolutely fucked because they've all spent money that the tobacco companies haven't given them yet.

ok, listen. you realize, thats WHY they are increasing the taxes right? to make people stop smoking? It's not to make more money. they want to make it so expensive people won't buy them anymore. so yes, go ahead, give them what they want and stop spending your money, keep sucking obamas dick like you are by NOT smoking.

i say, SMOKE, SMOKE LIKE A FUCKING CHIMNEY! THAT'LL SHOW THEM!!!

What?
The new tax doesn't go towards hospital bills. As far as I know it's supposed to go towards children's health insurance, which I'm fine with.
Even if it went to something absurd I'd still buy cigarettes every now and then. It's essentially supply and demand, everyone knows smokers will keep smoking, so everyone wants their fingers in the pie.

Meh, i smoke cheapo cigs.

305's cost $2.67 now, and that lasts me most of the week.

I don't smoke much, and its more when i'm drunk/stoned/high that i want a smoke.

I'm kinda weening myself off, but i have little expectation of quitting.

I enjoy it, and ill be done by the time i have a wife/kids.

So for now i cant really complain, $2.67 is cheap, and the cigs aren't that bad or harsh.

Tho, they used to be $1.89.

I can do $2.00 a week or 5 days easy.

And that's if i want to smoke.

Good luck, i know personnaly how hard it is to quit.

Ive quit about 10 times, but sometimes you just really want to smoke and.....BLAM.

I know ill be done with them in 5 years, but till then I'm trying to only smoke 5 a day, with parties/drinking/REALLY high as the exceptions.

yeah i have to cut out drinking because of the costs and also it's much harder to quit smoking cigs when drinking. I hope I can get down to 5 cigs a day. I'm still at about 10 or so. Today my goal is to not smoke more than 7.

So what your saying is that if I brought some of my delicious $10 Canadian premium smokes over there would be a market for smuggling wholesale tobacco?...what is this the 17th century?!

ThirdEyeOpening, your thor sig is great!

On the subject of tobacco tax...I'm quitting, partly because it's so damn expensive, and partly because I'd like to be healthier.  Using chewing tobacco helps when I feel like I really need a cigarette.
