Answer 4

NOW this would be a good time to quit.

Answer 5

well I couldnt tell you I live in TX were we pay $ 5.45 a pack ( $45 a carton ), but if it is any consolation I feel yourpain.i do agree with some posters, they need to tax the Oil companies or raise the tax on Booze. I do not agree though that second hand smoke " kills". This being said by another poster.

Our environment is already polluted by the Big Oil complanies and Refinaries as well as the vehciles we drive. Not to mention the Buses that blow out that nauseating exhaust or the 18 wheelers that crowd our Hi-ways and Bi-ways daily.

So.. as for the price of cigarettes, I will pay a little more, knowing I can smoke and drive or smoke in my home or whatever. With doing so I havent hurt anyone but myself...atleast I am not drinking and driving and causing accidents like thousands  do every month

Answer 6

It went into effect today.. and you should really quit smoking! Its unhealthy and the #1 leading cause of deaths, plus u risk everyone around you because 2nd hand smoke is even more dangerous than smoking itself!

Answer 7

Answer 8

The tax is crazy.

Why doesn't the government tax the h**l out of the oil companies for all of the money their robbing from the people and make a living that way.
