Fuck tobacco tax!
    #7927117 - 01/24/08 10:11 PM (16 years, 8 days ago)

Last year, the state of Indiana inacted a tax that raised the cost of tobacco products, most notably cigarettes, by an obscene amount. My Marlboro Reds took a huge increase from $3.30 or so to $4.00. Now I have to switch brands. I can't handle the price of these little fuckers anymore. There are two things I do not want to hear in response to this post.

1. Quit smoking. This is not happening right now.

2. We pay more where I live. Well, IN has a pretty low cost of living as compared to other states. So, I already know this. I'm just saying I personally can't afford this shit anymore.

Any tolerable alternatives on the cheap?

4 dollars is nothing for a pack of reds. Be happy. Check the prices in other states and you will see.

Roll your own. Not only is it cheaper, but you will smoke less since you have to roll one every time.

Try Parliaments or Camels, they're cheaper.

As for bitching about that price... I pay $6.50-7.00 for a pack of cigarettes where I'm at. I always make a point to buy a pack before going out drinking in NYC (Manhattan) because cigarettes there are $8.00 a pack, no matter the brand.

Phew. Just glad I live here. It could definitely be worse. Go friends in NY that constantly tell me to shut the fuck up about price. Sadly, starving student here.

"quiting is not an option"?

are you fucking shitting me?

What kind of logic is that? "cigarettes cost too much money and they are unhealthy, but quitting isn't option der der der"

tool.

I am in the midst of quitting. Easier than I thought but I have not been drinking yet.

I am 72 hours free minus 1 cig tonight to help me concentrate on my MUCH needed studies. I did not even enjoy it. :shrug:

If quitting "isn't an option," cut back your usage so you're smoking away the same amount of money a day.

Hey, I'm not proud of being a slave to my addiction. It's just that... you know what they say... if you don't want it, you won't get it. I'm not to the point where I genuinely want to quit yet. Sure, I could bullshit everyone and claim it's something I want, but I know underneath, I don't.

Hmm... experiment... psychadelics as an aid to quitting smoking. :wink:

The US and Canadian dollar is about the same now.

The Canadian dollar is actually slightly HIGHER at this point. :rolleyes:

1 USD to 1.0071 Canadian.

Maybe not as such... but that North American Union thing is sort of moving in that direction.  :ohwell:
