Yep, seen this shit going on here..
My packs used to cost average of $4 per pack, then about a week or so ago they went up to $5.50, then on 4/1 they'll be $6.50 and I'm told that a new state tax is also going to be added in the coming months.
One state south of me though already and always has had high state taxes on them, so a pack was averaging around $8 before this, so I imagine now they're $10+ per pack..
Now, check this shit out..
Bagged tobacco for rolling.. my next door neighbor suggested I roll my own to save money.. he tells me he WAS spending around $12 per carton by buying 60z tobacco and a box of 200 filtered tubes, then he just uses his hand machine to make his own,.,
I figured I'd try this to save some $$ since I have been spending well over $100 per week on cigarettes alone for both myself and my wife.. I HATE the fucking things and want to quit so bad.. but when I try it drives me fucking insane
So, I go and buy a lb of tobacco.. not bad.. it was $17 and will make me 2 and 2/3 cartons.. add $9 for 600 filtered tubes.. so, $27 a carton...
But check this shit out.. that $17 bag will be $40 on 4/01.. $23 per pound tax!!!!
Once this bag is empty, fuck it.. I WILL FUCKING QUIT!!!!!! I have to.. I can't stand the shit anymore, but it's a fucking addiction and is difficult
