Quoting: Tigershield Do they? Or do they know something about smoking that you don't. Japan and Greece have the highest % of smokers by population in the world and also have the lowest incidence of cancer, heart disease and high blood pressure, don't you find that a little curious ? Tigershield is a moran. The government only cares about how much money they can leach from us. |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 17114980 Buying for personal use on the reserve is legal I think, in Ontario. It's only illegal to sell them (or move them over borders) maybe if you only buy 1 carton at a time or something like that?? im not sure - I know tourists passing thru can buy a couple packs or cartons no prob,, but usually any white man who does not live on the reserve will get busted for "contraband cigarettes" as soon as he leaves the reserve with the cigs,, happens all the time around here niagara falls ny ??? that must mean you're pretty darn close to russ's new jerusalem branch davidian cult save the world tribe thingy he is workin' on ? yeah i just hope i never get the displeasure of running into him! :) |

I'm not much of a cigarette smoker but brands like champion, winsboro and fortune are pretty much "desperation smokes" that people won't smoke unless they have run out of options or money. They say the best cigarettes here are the winston lights. |

I'm sure they'll eventually find a way to start taxing that more too. But for now, it's the way to go. I was going to quit a couple of years ago, but when they started the crackdown, I decided to keep smoking out of spite. F*%K THEM! Quoting: Melrox I found it funny, when I was Christmas shopping for my daughter a billfold, I saw a ton of those old school cigarette cases. The ones with the lighter holder and change purse, haven't seen those in ages, with smoking being so taboo. They're everywhere now, I bought myself one. :) Hopefully you'll get cancer and really prove your point. fuck you dude. There are people that don't smoke that get cancer and there are people who smoke and live to 90. You should never wish that on anyone, even your worse enemy.

From what I have seen the chemicals and substances ingested working around machinery seems far worse than smoking. |

If you buy from the reserve you are BUYING untaxed tobacco. Like I said before they might not bug you for 1 or 2 packs,, but start doing it all the time & see what happens. The Canadian government thinks your robbing them of tax money if you go to the res to buy your tobacco. Im not saying I agree with it, im just saying the way it is. I have friends who have been busted in the past. I also know people who have went just for a few packs & been pulled over - police usually see 1 or 2 packs & say "ok, be on your way" ...

Useless Cookie Eater User ID: 29696048 United States 12/14/2012 10:18 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | The U.S. federal government [central government] puts a huge tax on cigarettes [some other tobacco products like cigars, cigarillos, chew, dip, snus are taxed much less]. Individual state governments put an additional tax. There's a POS [point of sale] tax, and some municipalities like NYC have the right to add their own tax, and they do. Where I live in Boston, name brand cigarettes can cost anywhere from around 6 dollars to 8-10 dollars a pack for the real foo-foo brands. But, you can but these things called 'Little Cigars' which are cigarettes wrapped in tobacco sheet product rather than paper, and are a little heavier than cigarettes,but have a filter and are roughly the same size as cigarettes, at around 2-2.50 a pack. You can also get tobacco products online from Indian reservations [tribal land] very cheaply, because they are semi-autonomous territory inside the United States. Roll your own is also very cheap. There's also a big black market in cigarettes in NYC and elsewhere. ...and that is what happens when the government keeps excessively taxing things....blackmarkets pop up everywhere. |
