Big question: how much is the increased cost of cigs contributed to people quitting smoking?

I can't see paying that kind of money for something that will give me lung cancer and cause my teeth to fall out.



That said, I have enjoyed cigars that cost more than $13 each. However, I haven't had a cigar in a few years.

That is why cig smuggling is a very big business. Bad news if you get caught as the powers that be frown very heavily on that.

[quote from snowflake socialist liberal] This is targeted towards the poor; their rights are being violated.

I quit around 36 years ago....in NYC I would buy a carton (10 packs) for $5.00......and there was a store on 40th street that would sell packs of Camel Lights buy one get one free !
Still stupid to do at any price but I was smoking 3 sometimes 4 packs a day.....glad I was finally able to kick that addiction.

I question those prices. I don't smoke, but I buy enough gas to know that cigs in Texas go for $ 5-something a pack, not the $ 7-something quoted.

They were .50-.65 a pack when I quit in 1982. Cartons were $5 for "name brands"

I was smoking two packs of KOOLS a day. I realized it wasn't doing me any good and quit cold turkey. It was tough but I was determined to do it.

Must have been in the mid-80s.

My cheap-ass neighbor drank the "Beast" because it was cheap.
