in a tobacco shop, they have little cigars, actually brown cigarettes, packaged like cigarettes, filters and all for about $1.50 per pack. I’ve tried them, just as good if not better than the cigarettes, just a little harder to find.
Cigs cost me less than $3.00 a carton during the service overseas. They were around $5.00 a carton when I got out of the service. I quit for several reasons. My health beiong number one, the cost was number two. I thought it was a ripoff at $5.00 a carton, but now one pack can cost more than that.
Obese people too...especially those who smoke.
Every individual should be able to decide how to spend their own money, it is the fruits of their labor! In addition, we should all be held individually responsible for those choices.....
Not only are HC costs up, but I did some additional digging and pulled out my old utility bills to track the rates from 1/2009 to now and am going to be tracking them going forward.
Elect is up 53%
Water is up 160%

Reap the whirlwind slaves!
It is a rebellioius/freedom/indivdual liberty thing and it smells like freedom to me! Many a FReeper would prefer the state stamp it out and then will complain when church meetings in homes and homeschooling is attacked with the same tools.
Twinkies and sodas are on the hit list right now...thanks to fascists that have been aided by the FReepers that celebrated the foundation laid by the war on Tobaccoo.
Obamacare will be used to dictate all sorts of “unapproved” behaviour. Reap the whirlwind slaves!
