I used to live in Arizona where they can tax whatever they want. I was desperate and bought a pack for almost 9 bucks once. Was the most ridiculous thing I think I ever did. So glad I am vaping now and not spending so much on smokes. When I move to where I am now I was paying 4.04 which i though was a good deal. then I got into this and so far I have saved about 60 bucks in just the short amount of time I have been vaping. Plus Im getting healthier at the same time.
