My other reason for using ecigs

[Jonnysocko]

One of the biggest reasons for me quitting analogs besides health was my hatred for evil capitalist scumbags that take advantage of peoples addiction to tobacco. Cigarettes are a funny commodity that really shows the true face of greed on a huge corporate level. I mean it takes real scumbags to spend millions engineering chemicals to put in tobacco to increase the addictive properties of the things and that's a big part of the health problems of regular cigs. And on top of that the feds have no problem stacking tons of tax on en to boot. Then big anti smoking campaigns are a built in helper that the feds love because it helps justify the absorbadant taxes. It's all a big scam that I am so glad to be out of forever.

Not only that - for some reason the lowest nicotine cigs are the most expensive. I had gotten all the way down to ultralights but the price kept getting jacked up (as well as my state adding even more tax to cigs) until they were $64/carton and I could no longer afford them. So for the last year of smoking I had to smoke cheaper harsher cigs with 2x the nicotine and 2/3 the price.

Sounds like your in Utah dormouse! That's how much my cartons were. I wonder what other states are that high in price?

 

[Jonnysocko]

Yea their totally out of control. Come on! $65 for a carton of cigs. Pretty soon people will have to grow their own tabaco just to afford the habit.

Good for you! I check my quit smoking app on my phone every day and it is SUCH a motivator...I've saved $462 so far. I hardly ever use my debit card any more, I love this even though I miss smoking. Keep it up and congrats!!

Oh it's insane, the price! I was paying $65.00 a carton for American Spirits, and I drove over the Delaware River to Pennsylvania to buy them cause they're cheaper in PA! You don't even want to know how much cigs are here in New Jersey...highway robbery, if you ask me!

Guess price here in Indiana wasn't (quite) as bad as i thought.
Last carton I bought around christmas was about 55$ .
That was for Marlboro red 100's.
My closest "FRIEND" for more years than MOST of you have been alive.
STILL miss them a lot
But my EGO (at least vaping) is filling in for them now

$43 at the Indian Reservation smoke shop here in Northern Nevada for any 'name brand' $29 for American Spirit, and I thought that was alot of money..wow $65!!!

 

[Silversmyth]

As for cost !!!!!!!!
I always go balls out when i get into something
When i can afford it. (Not often LOL)
MIGHT be EVEN after 48 days without my OLD friends.
New FRIEND not any cheaper yet money wise.
But I do FEEL much better-
and was tired of my 2 little granddaughters teling me fo quit defore i died from "MOKING"

Well said Jonny

Here in the UK they cost about $100 a carton, I don't miss paying that at all!

 

[Hogie]

I had not bought a carton in AGES! Here in NY I was paying $10.65 a pack when I last bought them before December of 2010. So, I hate to even guess how much a carton is here! I used to smoke Salem Lights.

Funny thing is, now I hardly use menthol at all! I have one bottle of mint that I add a few drops to some strawberry to mix. That is plenty! But my favs are more coffee or cappuccino flavor.

Right On. Bye Bye Big Tobacco. Hello Big Nic Juice. Now the Feds will find a way to tax nic juice.

Meet the new boss. Same as the old boss.

Everything on the East Coast is more expensive, but even at $29 a carton for American Spirits, I still wouldn't go back!!! It's not even about money...never was, and never will be...at least for me!

I agree --and the reason all the bans are poping up is because we don't put money in the big tobacco companies pockets anymore--and They don't like it !!!!!
Also trying to get them band here in indiana .

[MadmanMacguyver]

Pretty bad... for the last 2 years b4 I quit I was using a cig press and making my own... granted cost me a lot less but that was getting bad too hence Y I decided to get out...(that and coughing for 20 min every morning when I woke up)don't know if they still do it but fed used to give BT a huge subsidy to keep them going...lol. our corrupt system at work.It's not kosher to kill ur customers no matter how slowly. good luck.

Ye price wasnt really an issue for me either in reno, indian smoke shops are every where in nevada.
Alot of you people cant even hate, people in Europe, and Chicago, pay upwards of 10$ a pack.
In reality i have probably spent more money then i would have smoking, purchasing stuff i didnt like, or didnt use.
But thats part of the game. I started making my own E-liquid which is saving me tons of money.
