Crazy aint it.
Its an addiction like all the rest.
no actually more....had to stop to get a co worker a pack of marlboro and was I blown away when they said 7.25.....i guess i know now why I dont smoke.
In NY State, cigarettes run anywhere from 8 to 11 dollars a pack. Indian outlets are cheaper, but that might not hold for long.
I think thats per cigarette...lol
I understand smoking is unhealthy, but what ever happened to America the free? Why does the government have the right to tax things out of existence "for your own good"?
I have never been a smoker, but whats next, taxing my Big Mac because its "bad" for me?
Used to. I finally quit. BTW - Sam's has their generic nicotine patches @ $30 for 3 weeks. If nothing else, using those saves you a ton of money.
Yes, some people ARE paying that much! Why they buy them by the pack when they know they're going to have to buy another pack tomorrow I don't know.
I personally buy mine by the carton for much cheaper than these prices. I learned several years ago to stop smoking the "popular" brands too, which are quite a bit higher in cost!
yessir. go to delmar theyre cheaper
I go to virginia
Just proves that smokers are stupid
Yeah they should tax big-macs and other unhealthy foods. You eat it get fat, get diabetes, heart disease and increase healthcare costs.
And people complain about taxes around here...got to NY(one of the highest taxed states) you'll pay $10 a pack!
Dope for the average person at a reasonable rate. 1 pack aday = 175.00 a month = lease a new truck
2 packs a day = 350.00 a month lease or buy any new car.
3 packs a day =buy what ever you want. Die very soon!!!
I smoked for for 52 years , I'm almost in the grave. I would love to smoke right now , I'm hooked and almost dead. I'm crying as I write this. Don't do it!!
The same drug addicts smoking cigarettes are often the same ones advocating jail time for other addicts...lol...it cracks me up to see people talking about where they buy these drugs (cigarettes) cheaper....like THAT makes them a smarter person...LOL!! A smart idiot is STILL an IDIOT.
@ 541...i replaced my cigs. with a motorcycle payment...nice
Just found out this week that PRMC smokers are going to be paying more for their health insurance next year......
Increase in healthcare benefits because I smoke, yet the lard butt who can't even get out of her chair without gasping doesn't have to pay a thing extra for her 5 x's a month drs visits! Apparently the chunks are not a risk!! Yeah ok.
yep PRMC employees who smoke will pay more. Can't say I disagree. Why shouldn't health insurance be priced by risk the same way life insurance is? It is a well known fact that smokers and obese people require more health care. Also some smokers continue to buy cigs instead of their prescribed medicines. They say that they cannot afford the drugs. I really do pity anyone addicted to nicotine because it is powerful. People who show up in the emergency department to get their prescription drugs cost all of us money. They also cost the public many millions when they have a stroke because cigs took precedence over blood pressure medicine. It happens all of the time!
The St of MD touts how much they been able to cut smoking because cig tax revenues are down so far in spite of increased rates. They don't point out that VA's is up dramatically and DE and other surrounding states have seen a disproportionate rise in revenues. Folks talk about NY but don't give the van loads of thousands of cartons flowing there from other jurisdictions. Those cigs reduce the effective cost while lining pockets of crooks.
Our gov'ts will never learn you can't legislate other people to adhere to their values.
