By Far the greatest percentage of dollars paid for a pack of cigarettes goes to Taxes.
the taxers know we wont quit,....and its about the money and the CONTROL both.
Im remembering with glee when the last fifty cent a pack tax hike was added to a packof smokes. Oh those were the days
Several years ago I bought a machine that allows me to roll the perfect cigarette. I buy my tobacco by the bag and boxes of tubes (filtered and in my case with menthol).
I can roll my own for about $11 a carton ... takes about 30 min. So, until the government catches on to this small bit of freedom, I’m golden.
