HUGE Tobacco Tax Increase on rolling tobacco
    #10041706 - 03/25/09 08:52 PM (15 years, 6 days ago)

I realized that cigs are going up drastically, a pack at the moment in NJ is 7 and change.  April 1, the federal tax goes up 66 cents on each pack. 

I just said whatever, I'll break out the trusty rolling machine and go down to the tobacco shop.


So I got there, and all of the big bags of tobacco were sold out.  I asked the girl when they'd be getting them back in, and she said not for a while.  Also, they'd be...get ready...SIXTY FUCKING DOLLARS A BAG.  This is up from 22 bucks.

The federal tax on rolling tobacco will go from $1.09 to $24.78 per pound, among increases in other products (not sure what a blunt will cost, but it IS going up)


Goddammit, it was my plan to buy rolling tobacco once this shit was gonna skyrocket, I just had no idea that was also being increased (and at such an insane rate)

man i smoke nothing but homemade cigarettes. I pay $9 for a half pound, they told me they're only going to charge $30/lb now.

i think i might move over to electronic cigarettes soon anyway.

the tax increase is fucking weak.

Yeah it's bullshit


I'm so pissed I didn't see that coming.  I read the fucking internet news alllll day at work.  And this slipped by me apparently.  I still can barely believe that loose tobacco is going up in price that much

grow your own! its more potent so you need to smoke less and potency is at your fingertips, you can cure it however you prefer your tobacco, and you dont have to worry about gnarly taxes or added chemicals.

Yep. Picked up a tin of American Spirit today. I knew it was going up, but jesus christ. If I can still get a carton and a half from a tin I'm alright - cartons are almost ~$70 here.

Commercial cigarettes are disgusting.. I don't even enjoy them. If American Spirit was rat nasty, I would've quit already.

Is this a good deal?

I have no idea, I never got hooked on ciggys. I hate the taste and smell of burning tobacco.

There are two ways to get to the top of an oak tree: start climbing or sit on an acorn.

Are you a carrot, an egg, or a coffee bean?

you guys are aware you can buy smokes online, right? You order them from europe and skip the taxes all togther, they and up costing 25 a pack with shipping you can get any ciggs you want online for cheap. I haven't done it for a while but am about to order again, the site I used before was shut down...
