How much are smokes where you live?

[Mr. Flopnuts]

They just eclipsed $8 a pack out here in the great state of WA. Cartons are over $70 after tax. How much are they where you live?

How much are smokes in Portland? I might drive once a month if it's cheap enough to buy cartons.

MO is (reprehensibly, imo) the second cheapest cigarette state. It will become the cheapest cigarette state when South Carolina's new 50 cent per pack tax comes into effect.

[QuikSsurfer]

$5.50 - parliament

[KCwolf]

Think we are in the same boat.....the tobacco/liqour tax is outragous in our region. BATshit crazy. Don't smoke... but know its expensive as well

[Miles]

I think something like $5.50 around here. I only noticed because some dude in front of me at the 7-11 a few days ago asked a hell of a lot of questions to the clerk about how much each one was.

Dude, as a smoker I think this is bad, im gonna quit if cartons go over 40 here, I would never think about driving across state to pay what you're paying now

I've already got an e-cig ready to roll. I enjoy smoking, but not enough to forsake a trip to Hawaii, or the tropics every year to do it. As soon as I get my health insurance back I'm probably going to get some Chantix. I'm sick of shelling out the money. $400 a month for my wife and I. That's ****ing insane. And it's going up another $100 anytime. This is a discount because I'm buying them from the Indians. If I was buying them around my house It'd cost me something like $650.

Hey Reaper. Not all of us think that any beer under $10 a pint is worthless. Not all of us agree on what type of metal is best,and BTW...you have some disturbing takes on some shaky genres of music. Could be wrong,but I think you like Lady Gaga? But not all of us comment on shit that has nothing to do with us personally bro. Your take on cig prices shows arrogance about smoking issues. Well just wait til SumFinaMicroArroganata's hoppy watermelon ale goes up to like five times the price. I think you are alright, but ****ing cigarettes are way to high,smoker or non should agree.

Just quit, Dude.

You're spending money on something that's slowly killing you each year. That $4,800 per year could be a one week vacation in Mexico and a one week vacation at Disney Land or Disney World. Hell, if you shop Orbitz and Expedia, you could make to Europe, Tahiti or any number of fun destinations with that type of coin!

I've told you this before but I've never smoked a day in my life. Watching my great grandfather lie in a hospital bed with 100 needles sticking out of his back in an effort to reduce the pain of emphysema while living his last days had quite an effect on me.

My grandmother's sister on my father's side died at age 50 of lung disease and emphysema.

If you're going to slowly kill yourself, do it with alcohol. It's much more fun!

Be well.

I don't think you are alright. Because your argument to me is banal. You would gain more purchase with me by just appealing to fairness or something rather than falling on your face trying to insult me.

I don't really give a shit about cigarette prices but if I had to choose I'd prefer them to be high. The only point I can make in favor of lower prices is that perhaps the high prices affect mostly the poor cigarette addicts.

[BossChief]

Honestly, you might think its really tough to quit...but after the first two weeks are past you are in the clear for the most part.

Only times I even think about having one is after getting drunk and eating some tacobell or pizza or something with a bloated stomach.

Buy a 2 week nicoderm patches set for 40 and you will probably never have another cig.

$$$cha CHING$$$$

[BossChief]

They should take the ****ing tax money and make all the types of quit smoking helpers (patches, gum, pills, whatever) and make them available for no charge if they really want to fix the problem.

[PornChief]

would you believe 15.50 a pack is about the average here? not that I buy em.

[veist]

Its about $10/pack in Chicago last I heard people complaining about it.
