Well Bill lets go with the facts! My oldest got the largest scholarship our local university hands out! To maintain it he needs over a 90% average ! Going into 3rd year now & their still paying! Ended last year, second year with a 94%!
I didn't buy him that fancy car for nothing! He earned it!
The youngest one ended High school with an 89% average, He got a one thousand $ a semester discount on his tuition :) I just scraped by with C's & D's
And some more facts. According to the CDC, 249 billion cigarettes were sold in the United States in 2017. That's like 4 cartons per person per year. And BT spends one million dollars in advertising per hour. And the sale of cigars saw an increase of 29% between 2012-2016. The United States is the world's fourth largest grower of tobacco with 70% coming from North Carolina and Kentucky.

Economic Trends in Tobacco

Yet e-cigarette sales are still tiny compared to tobacco. It doesn't look like BT are hurting too much to me. :(

Here is more Steamer861. There was 523 billion cigarettes were sold in the United States back in 1963. And today it is about half that. Yet cigarettes cost like 15 times more now than they did back then. According to the CDC, a 10% increase in price has been estimated to reduce overall cigarette consumption by 3–5%. So it seems like price is the largest factor in having less tobacco harvested. If the price of a pack of smokes today were in line with 1963 prices, would BT sell more than 523 billion cigarettes today? I bet they would. :(

With the idea of using it in my new mod I brought out one of my UD Bellus tanks and set it up with dual twisted 2 strand SS430. It didn't end up on the new mod but on another one. Probably the most flavorful of any tank I have.

Well Gov. Cuomo flavor ban has hit me here. My ADV, the one that got me off of smokes called HazeCap (Hazelnut Cappuccino) will be no more. As Yeti Vape (based in NY) says they won't be selling flavored juices any longer. :cry:
