NYC Cigarette prices...OD much? vol. $9 a pack

[STooK]

So tonight i was hookahing and was walking out and stopped by a deli. I saw a sign for like marlboros for $8.85 and i thought it was like a buy 1 get 1 freedeal...but nope. FOR 1 FRIGGIN PACK!

I dont smoke regularly, sometimesafter drinking and whatnot but this really surprised me. I mean i heard they are raising it in june but i never believed it..i

Well i guess i'm quitting smoking for good then unless i can bum off someone...but the prices out here are OD. i remember in HS when every1 used to smokewe all flipped out when the price went from 5 to 6$...every1 started buying 100's to "get the most out of their $"

i guess there will be less hs kids smoking now and hopefully also less peoplesmoking in the city.

I work at a liquor store (suburbs of Boston) and a pack of Marlboro is $5.85

 

[shatterkneesinc]

who makes these laws?

 

[an dee 51o]

Yeah, I went there a while ago and I was gonna buy a pack but it was $7.75 or something absurd like that. I was like.... PASS.


Sin tax.

[sneakfreek182]

[jordanxi45]

I pay like $3.99 for my ports...some areas are priced differently...in bad areas ciggs are cheaper..smh...but yeah...no reason for them to be that high....ismoke, but damn just make it illegal then...what a joke.....its like 25 cents to produce a pack of smokes and they sell it for $9....LOL how dumb are wehuh?...whats goin on?

[ro ro 8]

[love viii first sight]

It makes me feel real bad when I ask people for a cigarette when I'm drinking

 

[measy15]

I stay in Atlanta....all cigarettes are no more than 4.50 tops! I've been to NY just visiting so that means I took cabs all day. I'm imagining ya gasprices are 7 bucks a gallon if yall taxin for cancer sticks like that! WTH!

 

[ss89]

london's worse.. cigarettes can cost up to $13 and even like $16 in clubs

 

[fanatic15]

You'll save a ton of money by quitting or at least cutting back.

If you are really upset, flex your financial muscle and refuse to be taken!

ciggs could be 12.00 and fiends will still buy em. i always said there are only slight differences between crack heads and cigg smokers. cigg smokersdon't drop mad weight and they don't have that walk.

 

[goldnboi7]

They only $5 here in Philly...I send you a pack with $4 shipping...

Completely different... You need gas to get to work/go out, You dont NEED cigarettes.

 

[kiddin like jason]

If that's not enough to make you quit...

 

[mw2889]

Fiends are too weak to quit, they could charge $15 a pack if they feel like it.

 

[kb8sandiego]

Still less than $5 here in Cali.
