They just announced on the news that another tax hike on cigarettes has taken place in NYC. They are up to $11 a pack there now. It will probably be that high everywhere soon.

I am so glad that I found vaping. Not only for the health benefits, but my gosh, who can afford that?
:shock: WTF??? that is insane... I mean what r ppl to do? Christ almighty..alot of ppl dont have the means to buy an e cig set up..no wonder humanity is goin down hill... U give them one of the most addictive drugs there is, and then u make it to where u have to make a choice of either eating or getting ur fix..If they were that price here before I started vaping, I would have most likely Got my hub's rifle ... and found someone from the government (dont care who) and shot the MFers!!!!:facepalm:
We were only paying about $2.40 per pack here for our fav. cheap cigs. $11 friggin dollars......for 20 cigs...really...$11 dollars...just thinks of what u can eat for $11....in my usage that would have been $22 a day to support my habit... To me that is almost a weeks worth of dinner if I shop at Aldi's
I am just in awe right now...flippin fuming!!

here, have a vape, calm down and just thank u'r lucky stars it doesn't affect you anymore :)
 
My god...that is crazy expensive too! I just cant imagine that. I thought when Marlb. went to almost $5 a pack here it was insane.. then they started w/ that nasty fire proofing crap.. and just so happened that the cheapest cigs didnt have that crap..so we started on those...which to me was still expensive... and ppl wonder why i say i will never save money on e cigs.. maybe in a year..lol.. but no, cuz there will have to be replacements of hardware. I just hope that eventually I can put everything down, including vaping... and then I can shove it all up their arses!!!!:2cool: including the box mods!!! That might not feel so good!!!!:evil:

Yesterday was Hubby's birthday. (He's MUCH younger than me) so I spent the day slaving over lasagna and cheesecake. It's our tradition. It's what I made him on his first birthday that we were together.

He made me a new box, the ones we use are really flimsy and don't last long, we use 2X CR123 so it's difficult to find a box to fit them. He painted it with black and pink zebra stripes.. It's prettier than you'd think, with those colors. I'm gonna glitter the pink stripes. It'll be all done as soon as I find the switches I put away. :blush: They're not in the mod toolboxes. I went thru all 3 of them twice. I can't find them anywhere. <sigh>
My "OCD clean everything up & put it away" has collided with my CRS!!!!

Aside from wanting to get healthier - This is one of the main reasons myself, my husband, and my dad are quitting.

The last pack of cigs I bought were $4.00. Everyone was pizzed that they upped the tax again here on them at that time.
In Michigan they were 6.00 a pack at the time.
When I started , vaping wasnt that much cheaper for me , not giving the govt insane
unfair taxes was priceless :)

last pack i bought were those 305s made from what they sweep off the floor for $3.80 a few weeks ago. but that was only because i was too far away from a store that sold rolling tobacco at a decent price since that got taxed to death and jumped up
