Pieces of shit made cigarettes luxury goods just like that. Before, a pack of cigarettes was $2. Today it's $6. They claim this price rise is helping people smoke less. This is bullshit, because smokers are still buying cigarettes, but they are forced to pay way more.

$2 x 365 days = $730

$6 x 365 days = $2.190

Liberal way, they dont outright ban something, they simply make it super expensive for the plebs. Dont worry, they get theirs straight from the factory as a "gift" and dont pay taxes or pesky vice fees on their cigaretters

It IS bullshit, but you should fucking quit.

I speak from the experience of smoking 2 packs a day for almost 10 years, I am so disgusted with myself for not quitting sooner.

When I was a kid you could get a pack from the vending machine for a buck seventy five. Mom used to send me.

When I started smoking they were $1.15 for Camels Unfiltered. But to give you an idea of the time most gas stations were not yet digital....
