I quit smoking in the Summer of 1983. Before that I was smoking 3 to 5 packs of unfiltered Lucky Strikes per day. I had the worst 'smokers cough" ever. That was my primary motovation to quit. Back then, cigarettes were 75 cents a pack, or $7.50 per carton of 10 packs. I thought that was getting too steep, so that was another motovation to quit.

I'm sure glad I did.

a pack can cost that much now-a-days.
All you that doth my grave pass by,
As you are now so once was I,
As I am now so you must be,
Prepare for death & follow me.

Glad I don't smoke...
They say that life's a carousel
Spinning fast, you've got to ride it well
The world is full of kings and queens
Who blind your eyes and steal your dreams
Its heaven and hell, oh well

My friend's favorite cigarette is Vantage Menthol and a pack is worth about $3.99 in VA, and $2.69 in NC. :?

Here in Ill, they are about 5 bucks a pack, or 50 bucks a carton. Like I said, I am SO GLAD I no longer smoke.

My state pays the highest of the nation's taxes. I don't smoke but I do think it's ridiculous.
At the Cigarette store I work at, you'd pay $9.44 for a pack of Marlboro.
You'd be paying close to a hundred bucks for a carton.
If you want the "cheaper packs" you'd be paying a little over 7 bucks for a pack, and about 75 bucks for a carton.
A lot of people have been going to the Indian reservations, New York state wants to fight it, but the Seneca Nation is a Sovereign nation. There's no way they'd get away with it.
This probably seems crazy, crazy, a graveyard theory,
A ghost tried to approach me and got leery.
Ask him a question and he vanished in a second...
