Ouch!

1. I pay 11.00 a CARTON. And it's easy.

4. Hows that?

6. I buy my tobacco online and roll my own.

I buy 5 lbs of tobacco for $82 (10 cartons) and the tubes run $3 a carton.

11.20 a carton.

If you do this, buy a really good machine. I use the Top-O-Matic T2.

It's "duel use" tobacco, sold as pipe tobacco and not subject to the cig taxes.

The added benefit is the tobacco is pure tobacco. No additives and the tubes are rice paper and cotton filters.

2. My wife and I spent Christmas in NYC. About the only smokers we saw were Asian tourists.

Smoking is way down and so are heart attacks in the heart attack capital.

Keep jacking up the price. Do it from coast to coast.

3. And the size of that pack? Folk pay just over 50c/cig...

...here is Australia.

5. If one smokes a pack a day = $5073.50/year

When 2023 rolls around, $50,735.00 will have gone up in smoke.

Even worse ouch-

8. I pay $1.41 a pack here in Michigan

They are actually cigars in cigarette size and packs. Taste shitty but they are cheap.

9. A truly excellent cigar costs less.

Out here in the hinterlands, of course.

10. Might be a good time to take up pipesmoking

It's cheaper and doesn't carry the same risks, assuming you puff instead of inhale (and you should).
