    WTF a packet of cigarettes $6.80 in the US???????

    just watched a movie where a dude buys a packet of "Parliament" for $6.80

    that's way too expensive, I'm sure there're cheaper brands but maaaaaaaan, if you take the ratio risk/reward as a criteria you're probably better off smuggling cigarettes in the US than cocaine

                  In the UK it must be the equivalent of around $11 or more.

                              Like everyone else is saying, it's good motivation to kick the habit. If I was a smoker though I would be really pissed.

                                  thats a horrible price, things like this should be a good reason for people to quit, its getting way too expensive.

                                              that's 34 cents a smoke. Jebus.

                                              Even back when I smoked (at $.15 per cig in individual packs) I didn't see the sense in buying individual packs when you could get cartons at bulk rate.

                                              Or even cartons of cartons even cheaper per stick.

                                              I mean, if you have a brand, and realize you're an addict, why not budget it? :-)

                                                                                                                  Even back when I smoked (at $.15 per cig in individual packs) I didn't see the sense in buying individual packs when you could get cartons at bulk rate.

                                                                                                                  Or even cartons of cartons even cheaper per stick.

                                                                                                                  I mean, if you have a brand, and realize you're an addict, why not budget it? :-)

Some fucker smokes for decades knowing it's bad for him. Then when he's in his 60's he has lung problems or cancer and I'm picking up his tab for his medical bills. How is that fair to me? Either this tax would encourage him to quit which means I'm not footing his medical bills or the cigarette taxes are paying for it. My state just raised cigarette taxes by 42 cents a pack. They're still one of the lower taxes on cigs in the US at 62 cents. N Carolina and Knentucky have the lowest taxes. They are also the two largest producers of tobacco. Go figure.

Some fucker smokes for decades knowing it's bad for him. Then when he's in his 60's he has lung problems or cancer and I'm picking up his tab for his medical bills. How is that fair to me? Either this tax would encourage him to quit which means I'm not footing his medical bills or the cigarette taxes are paying for it. My state just raised cigarette taxes by 42 cents a pack. They're still one of the lower taxes on cigs in the US at 62 cents. N Carolina and Knentucky have the lowest taxes. They are also the two largest producers of tobacco. Go figure.

Has your income tax gone down since they raised the cig tax? Has your workmens comp gone down since they raised cig taxes? Mostlikely not, up up up up taxes go up up up

They are used LOCALLY not nationally or even satewide. And mostly they are used to fund the school budget in most areas. So the cigarette atxes has no baring on that.

As I said a higher tax leads to less smoking this is proven fact. The less you smoke the easier it becomes to quit. Also reduces the damage you do.

That goes for food and drugs. I think a Big Mac should cost $10 dollars and fruit like apples and oranges should cost $0.05 each. Cigarettes, which are both unhealthy and addictive should cost $25 per pack.

                                                                                                                                                              If the world worked this way, I imagine there would be a lot more people eating healthy and not drinking or smoking.

                                                                                                                                                                                  then it became 3.80 euros for a pack (19 cigs, still 0.20 a cig)
                                                                                                                                                                                  two weeks ago went to 3.90 euros for a pack (still 19 cigs, 0.205 a cig)

                                                                                                                                                                                  my guess by the end of the year we pay 4,20 euros a pack of 18 cigs. In 10 years we will pay 15 euros for a pack of 9 cigs.
