WTF is NY doing they are more then doubling taxes on cigs on the third i think this is so dumb, they think they are gonna make a ton more money but really they will make the reservations rich no ones gonna pay $7 something a pack when they can get them for $2.50. Why does NYS insist on taxing there remaining residents to death ---

but the state doesnt want you to quit like they say they just wanna see how much they can get in taxes. i quit for 5 years and wish i never would of started back up, but saying everyone should just quit is a good thought but not practical. last time i tried i put on 20 pounds and got real sick like puking everyday. ---

I know some people are more or less trapped by it. But it’s just fucked up that they allow this shit to be legal. I’ve smoked cigars and such here and there just because and I’m glad I have no addiction ---

Smoking is dumb. Don’t understand why anyone would pay money to kill themself, smell bad and isolate themself from everyone else. Theres nothing good about it, so I don’t have any problem with the prices getting higher. With the impact of inflation, I can’t imagine how people are going to be able to justify a pack of smokes. I couldn’t even understand it before the price increase. ---

Smoking is fucking cool. I had always wanted to start, I think this is just enough incentive to try. Any advice for a first timer? I think I have the butt-flick down…just need to harden the lungs now. ---
