Poll for Smokers

The Federal tax on cigarettes goes from 39 cents to $1.01 "to finance a major expansion of health insurance for children. President Barack Obama signed that health initiative soon after taking office." (MSNBC)
So, what are you going to do?

My mother is trying out these things. She's doing it for a few reasons, get rid of the smoke/smell that makes her cloths, car, house smell and she's hoping that with them, she can eventually go to the 0 nicotine inserts.

It sounds like a good reason to smoke. Please, everyone, think of the children.

i paid $8 yesterday in upstate NY. If I recall right, I was paying about $8 in NYC 8 years ago..upstate is only now catching up to NYC. Its totally ridiculous. Frankly, I can no longer afford to smoke..not that I needed $ as an excuse to quit. but will I? hmmm.

I have started hand rolling my smokes. A LOT cheaper and because it takes time to roll one I do smoke less.

Ditto.

Better yet, I often order Zhong Nan Hai smokes online from China. $27 per carton delivered and the gov't. doesn't get a dime of it.

I was always attracted to women that smoked; don't know why?
Maybe because my dad told me if she smokes she pokes and I was going for the sure thing?

My buddies would see a gorgeous babe, find out she smokes and go yuk.
I'd go yummy. ??? Never bothered me.

To this day, people say to me "your wife smokes!" and I reply, "Yes. She smoked when I met her, I knew it going in and I ain't her mother" She's cut down alot and she takes good care of herself otherwise. Of course I want her to quit, which she did for all the prego's, but it'll be her call, not mine fwiw.
