Anonymous Coward User ID: 37522476 United States 04/10/2013 05:39 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Big fricken deal. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 628775 We pay prov tax of 25 cents per cig that's $50.00/carton of 200. Then there is federal tax on top. A carton of 200 runs you between $90.00 and $115.00 or $11. to $14 /pack of 25. I quit 39 days ago and have saved $400. so far. You have a long way to go to catch up with the tax on our smokes. On the plus side, I feel a 1000 times better since I quit the evil white cancer sticks. some people don't want to quit. I am one. I want my cigs left alone. fvck regulation by enforcement of taxes on a product. it's times like these that I miss GH Bush "Read my lips: NO NEW TAXES!!" that includes cigs HA HA to fucking bad, I hate cig smokers, you smell, you make my air smell, you smell up my local bar, your teeth are yellow and you cost us millions in healthcare cost, cigs should either be outlawed or taxed $5 a pack.. Eat Shit Cig Smokers.. |

If ur poor u shouldnt be smoking anyways u cant fucking afford it... Quoting: Anonymous Coward 33059191 you are missing the point. What if Obama put a 2 dollar tax on every can of coffee you buy ?? just because he says it will stop arthritis ?? it don't affect you until it's a product you use. then you stand up, hypocrite. or what if Obama put a 1 dollar tax on every 2 liter soda because it causes diabetes ??? It's the same exact thing !!! too damn much intervention in our lives. I don't want to be regulated. I want to be liberated. no, YOU'RE missing the point. Its taxed more because they know we will still buy them. liberate yourself and roll your own cigs. poyl |

Caffeine is just like nicotine. In either case the govt should not arbitrarily decide what is, and what should not be taxed over and above the norm, or at all... |
