I smoke about 2 packs a week thats only about $500, hmm...... I would pay more in taxes from the cigaretts at 1 pack a day than personal taxes. Really isn't right but what are you going to do?

Why you hatin? Just because I wouldn't sing "Guy Love" with you at the shop makes me a person that people don't want to talk to? I guess it's my passive and introverted personality. If you come to our dyno day I will talk to you all day long about how I like long walks on the beach and the salty air blowing through my hair

In Clinton, IA I was getting them for around $2.70 a pack. With a bargain like that I couldn't help but to smoke way too much a week. Now that I'm never there, they run around $3.85 in this area.

Wow talk about frame of reference. I remember when cigs were $2.00. My dad remembers when they were about a buck.

I stopped for my health, but they were already at $4 a pack.
