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.

Glad I quit a little over a year ago.

I was expecting a thread for Dipso:D

I can't believe anyone is still smoking!

Are you being serious?? Why do you think that? :cool:

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.

as long as it annoys people like dottore, i will continue to smoke.

Tobacco companies will increase the amount of nicotine per cigarette...

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

i roll em too from time to time. got so i could roll em one-handed will driving

got a preferred brand? i like the samson milds

I just going country with Drum Euro blend and EZ widers.

i like drum too. think i got liking the samsons cause their papers never rip.

to answer the question of this pole, (prior to quitting) ill likely go back to rolling my own on a full time basis.

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.

AU$12.50 for a packet of 35's. Gave up 11 years ago and haven't even had a single puff since. Used to smoke 50-60 per day. Wife still smokes:(

Takes me a week to go through two packs.

Can anyone say BLACK MARKET...another thing for the Mexicans to import.

Didja ever think that the reason why Obama signed the Bill is to stimulate Mexicos economy?

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.
