Would You Pay $100 for a Pack of Cigarettes?

I am a smoker but i have constantly switched brands to keep from paying over 5 dollars a pack ... and when i can no longer do so I will Quit.

me too, bs

For the first time in my life, I'd be a thief. WTH? This only creates a black market with all of its criminality.

smoking is not good to our health.. hehehe

I would die quicker if i started smoking.

im glad there 5 bucks a pack where i live

No way

Noone should have to pay for lung cancer.

Me, no smoke.

Don't smoke, dude.

dat is os bad

Eu acho que tinham que proibir o cigarro totalmente. Porque já tá mais que comprovado que não faz bem nenhum. Veneno legal? Pra que?

I would not pay a penny for one.

No. I dont buy cigarettes now and I woudnt even if they were 25 cents. But this is absolutely freaking ridiculous. Governments need to stop interferring in peoples own lives and controlling what people do. If people choose to smoke, that is their choice. Legalize freedom!

No way I can afford that - I can't afford the price now. So I went to e-cigs, and by golly, half the price, and they're working, and finally after 55 years I see light at the end of the QUIT-tunnel. My mornings are no longer devoted to coughing crud!







It's vapor, not smoking. The vapor contains the nicotine to sate the habit.

And no, I don't sell them, I just use them for now.

ive been looking into these. are they worth it ?

I gotta say YES. Half the price, and no more smoke in these old lungs, but the nicotine vapor gets me thru the day and the compulsion is going away as well. Using the e-cigs is a bit more "pain", but not worth the $30 saved per carton.

But I never have smoked anyway so thats an easy one for me.

If I want to smoke, I'll smoke. It's still legal and it's my money.

Although, as several people have pointed out, the black market for cigarettes would be a booming business, so I'd probably get them that way instead.

My very best friend is 61 years old. She will die soon due to lung cancer from smoking. She will not live long enough to see her grandchild born this Oct. Please quit.

Why is my smoking any of your concern? I don't remember asking for help in quitting, so why do people keep wanting to "help" me (and other smokers)?

I am a US citizen. I pay my own bills (and taxes). Do you, or others, get paid to nanny grown adults who can (and do) make their own decisions? If you don't, change your profession because it's getting old, real quick.

As for your friend, she made her decision, just as I make my own.

I am just a caring type person. Worked as a nurse for over 30 years. Hate to see anyone waste their life.

Thanks but, no thanks. I'm an adult. As my father taught me, "Stand up and receive the rewards or consequences for your actions." If that means cancer, surgery, death, or nothing at all... So be it. It was my choice.

yup

I don't smoke, never have smoked, don't want to start smoking. I have better things to spend my $$$ on.

although i already pay $20-25 for a packet so it really isn't that far off, my dad used to pay $1 for a packet when he was my age.

in australia the prices are going up by what seems to be $1 a year just from added taxes.

when we know how bad it is for our health, there is no reason at all to smoke or charge an enormous price for cigarettes. This will only cause underground sales of product that will give more people access to them.

Since when was it OK to take away my civil liberties and tell me it's for my "own good"?! Aren't I an adult? Am I not capable of making my own choices in life? Who ordered this meeting and forgot to tell me I should be there? I think as long as we are smoking away from others, or in the privacy of our own home the government should back the hell out of our lives and deal with their own issues. I don't know about the US, but here in the UK, a lot of the tax that's on a packet of cigarettes goes directly into the NHS budget, something like $16 billion a year, with money used to tackle smoking related diseases comes in at less than a quarter of that each year. If they keep raising the prices and more people keep stopping, that's less money going back into the NHS each year, which means restricted budgets and restricted operations/beds and elevated waiting times......seriously I don't think anybody has thought this issue through very well at all!

I LOVE TO SMOKE GOT ME THROW SOME TOUGH TIMES
MIDDLE FINGER TO ALL THE PEOPLE WHO IS TRYING TO TAKE AWAY MY FREEDOM
I M REALLY RESPONSIBLE HOW I SMOKE

Probably 10 plain color shirts I could buy with that

But I think people can smoke if they want. It's their body, not mine. If someone is smoking in public they can do it in a designated area. I no longer smoke.

I believe I once said, "You have no idea how useful they are."

I smoke but i wouldnt pay that much to do it

I don't smoke

Non smoker.

Hell no!

But then again some people pay 25 bucks for a gram of weed....

I've never touched a cancer stick in my life, however, if I were a smoker I'd quit in an instant. 100 dollars for a pack of cigarettes, you have to be out of your damn mind.
