WTF a packet of cigarettes $6.80 in the US??????? - GoFuckYourself.com

Antonio · 06-07-2007, 10:50 AM

just watched a movie where a dude buys a packet of "Parliament" for $6.80

that's way too expensive, I'm sure there're cheaper brands but maaaaaaaan, if you take the ratio risk/reward as a criteria you're probably better off smuggling cigarettes in the US than cocaine

FreeHugeMovies · 06-07-2007, 10:52 AM

Good I hope all of you guys STOP smoking. Terrible habbit!

cranki · 06-07-2007, 10:52 AM

in norway, it's ~8 euros I read... (~11$)

Sosa · 06-07-2007, 10:53 AM

just don't smoke

Tim · 06-07-2007, 10:59 AM

In the UK it must be the equivalent of around $11 or more.

blink0 · 06-07-2007, 11:01 AM

Like everyone else is saying, it's good motivation to kick the habit. If I was a smoker though I would be really pissed.

TubeTitans_SusieQ · 06-07-2007, 11:05 AM

thats a horrible price, things like this should be a good reason for people to quit, its getting way too expensive.

Jace · 06-07-2007, 11:10 AM

yeah, those that don't live in the south have higher prices

it is $3 a pack in georgia for my winston and camels

that's 34 cents a smoke. Jebus.

Even back when I smoked (at $.15 per cig in individual packs) I didn't see the sense in buying individual packs when you could get cartons at bulk rate.

Or even cartons of cartons even cheaper per stick.

I mean, if you have a brand, and realize you're an addict, why not budget it? :-)

I wish it were about 100x that amount, them maybe I wouldn't be choking when I'm bouncing at the bar. At least most of the time I get to stay just outside the door.

everblazin · 06-07-2007, 01:22 PM

Its about the equivalent of $10 for 20 fags (cigarettes) over in england

Iron Fist · 06-07-2007, 01:25 PM

You'll get over it.

puravida · 06-07-2007, 01:26 PM

Martina Warren · 06-07-2007, 01:27 PM

Depends where in the USA. In california they are like $4 a pack, but in New York they are about $8

candyflip · 06-07-2007, 01:28 PM

Everyone I know buys in bulk from the Indian reservations.

Malla · 06-07-2007, 01:29 PM

When I first started smoking, cigarettes were $.20 a pack. When they went to $.50 I quit.

IllTestYourGirls · 06-07-2007, 01:32 PM

the governments figured out that cigs are addicting.....so what was the next logical step? TAX THE FUCK OUT OF THEM! haha I am glad I dont smoke

nation-x · 06-07-2007, 01:50 PM

poo spot... thank you for smoking

everblazin · 06-07-2007, 01:53 PM

I'm all for it. Some fucker smokes for decades knowing it's bad for him. Then when he's in his 60's he has lung problems or cancer and I'm picking up his tab for his medical bills. How is that fair to me? Either this tax would encourage him to quit which means I'm not footing his medical bills or the cigarette taxes are paying for it. My state just raised cigarette taxes by 42 cents a pack. They're still one of the lower taxes on cigs in the US at 62 cents. N Carolina and Knentucky have the lowest taxes. They are also the two largest producers of tobacco. Go figure.

madawgz · 06-07-2007, 03:30 PM

in montreal its around 9$ per pack

Michaelious · 06-07-2007, 03:32 PM

Works out alot more expensive in uk.

You have a great point and I agree with 100% However, has your land tax gone down since they raised the cig tax? Has your income tax gone down since they raised the cig tax? Has your workmens comp gone down since they raised cig taxes?

Mostlikely not, up up up up taxes go up up up

A lot of the cig tax is being wasted on pork.

emjay · 06-07-2007, 03:52 PM

$10 in UK...

PIn the US theya re called Property Taxes. They are used LOCALLY not nationally or even satewide. And mostly they are used to fund the school budget in most areas. So the cigarette atxes has no baring on that.

Incomes rates are lower sicne 2001.

Quote:

Once again one has nothing to do with the other.

Quote:

Well of the 42 cents in increased cig tax 40 cents is going to be used for k-12education and 2 cents is being used for funding of trauma centers. As I said a higher tax leads to less smoking this is proven fact. The less you smoke the easier it becomes to quit. Also reduces the damage you do.

Aussie Rebel · 06-07-2007, 04:09 PM

I pay about $17 a pack in Australia

SomeCreep · 06-07-2007, 05:10 PM

I'm of the opinion that anything unhealthy should be very expensive. That goes for food and drugs. I think a Big Mac should cost $10 dollars and fruit like apples and oranges should cost $0.05 each. Cigarettes, which are both unhealthy and addictive should cost $25 per pack.

If the world worked this way, I imagine there would be a lot more people eating healthy and not drinking or smoking.

Mr. Romance · 06-07-2007, 05:18 PM

I do not smoke, but here in South America you can get a 5 carton pack for $55 dollars. So $11 dollars per carton.

Mr. Romance

MattO · 06-07-2007, 05:27 PM

I'm going to create BLING CIGARETTES and put some fucking zirc's on them and sell them for 400 dollars a pack to rappers.

Firehorse · 06-07-2007, 05:31 PM

I don't smoke, however I think that as the price continues to rise .... some people will pay almost anything and some won't (just like in the past) ... value - it' all relative!

pornmasta · 06-07-2007, 05:37 PM

let's eat betel nut ;)

nico-t · 06-07-2007, 06:24 PM

about 6 months ago: 4 euros for a pack (20 cigs, 0.20 a cig)
then it became 3.80 euros for a pack (19 cigs, still 0.20 a cig)
two weeks ago went to 3.90 euros for a pack (still 19 cigs, 0.205 a cig)

my guess by the end of the year we pay 4,20 euros a pack of 18 cigs. In 10 years we will pay 15 euros for a pack of 9 cigs.

djroof · 06-07-2007, 06:32 PM

Here in Greece about 3 euros ;)
