bumming smokes

[jarvis]

I have a friend that says he's just a social smoker, naturally he doesn't buy cigarettes for that, just bumbs off people.

hahaha.. I have people trying to bum smokes off of me all the time. I've just learned to say NO!!!! they do get pissed, even had a guy almost start a fist fight over it...lol I can barely afford to smoke myself anymore with the rise of gas prices along with the rising costs of cigarettes. Thinking of that, what is the cost for a pack of smokes where your from? I live in AZ its about $5.75 a pack here, most places offer a buy 2 for a discounted price and that comes up to about $9.87

5/22/08 Prics went up about 50cents, gotta love taxes

WOW! Your cigs are cheap. Over here in the UK the cheapest cigs are just over £4 for 20 ($8) rising to £5.60 ($10+) for 20 depending where you shop. Some places charge over £5 ($12). Our government rakes off about 84% in tax off every pack of 20.

Same goes for the price of petrol and diesel. Diesel has now risen to £1.35 a litre ($2.50) - £6.23 per gallon with unleaded petrol only a couple of pence behind.

Many people are now living below the poverty line as wages, instead of going up to correspond with the increased rise in the cost of living, have actually fallen. Many people are living below the poverty line in the UK now.

If we could get out of this country we would but like many others we're struggling to make ends meet.

Then, to make people even more miserable, we've got a complete blanket ban on smoking in public places. For me the e-cig's been a Godsend. I've only been using mine for a week but it's saved me so much money already - and I can smoke it anywhere. People who have seen my one, want one too.

Great invention and I hope they continue to improve.

LOL A 25 pack of smokes here are $13 CAD. I quit 5 years ago because of cost and the fact it was helping to kill me a little each smoke. I puff with a Ruyan e-cigar now and love it. 0mg nic. of course.. at least for now.
