I'm gonna chime in here, but from the looks of most of the posts in this thread no one will give a shit....
I'm a smoker, and I live in Michigan, What I get PISSED about when it comes to the smokes rising in cost, is what "we" were told years ago by our "Master" err I mean Gov. that with the price raising $1.00 of EVERY pack would go DIRECTLY to the public school system.
Now, I know a lot of you HATE to think lol, but try and follow this with me...
I smoke a pack a day give or take, With the Gov's claim I MYSELF put up over $300.00 per year to public schools. (NOT a high number I admit)
Now, as of 2005 there are over 10 Million people living in Michigan, lets lowball the shit out of that and say that a tiny ass 10% are avid smokers thats a total of: 1,000,000 (1 million) and I know for a fact that is a lowball number.
So if all of those people are smoking a pack a day, and putting out over $300.00 per year, then it's safe to say Michigan smokers are contributing over $300 million dollars a year to the Michigan public school systems.
AND YET, more and more schools here are being closed down due to "Lack Of Funding"
So I myself bitch about the rising costs cause point blank they lie their asses off on why and where the money will be going.
