Ive been thinking about starting my own cigarette delivery business. I know when i run out of ciggs at home, sometimes i dont feel like going to the store so i would rather call someone to pick them up for me. Any suggestions?

Yeah nevermind!! Bad idea. Any other suggestions? I hate my job and want to work for myself.

The price of delivery would make this impossible. People will not pay $10 for a pack of cigarettes. Which is about what you would probably have to charge to break even.
In addition, it would only be a matter of time before some kooks sued you. The anti-tobacco crowd would be all over you. Saying you "made" people smoke by bringing them cigarettes. And, in addition to that, you polluted the environment by driving the car to bring them those cigarettes. It is a nightmare waiting to happen.

I would say follow your dreams but, I'm sure you could do a better business. Something that doesn't involve such a bad thing. The one thing I would suggest is quit smoking and find something you like to do that will get you more money. There is a lot of jobs out there that I know you would be good at. Good Luck :-)

Mmmm. Cig prices are high, add to that your car's gas (really high) and your delivery charge--only the desperate wealthy could afford your service. Still, as a smoker myself, I like the idea. Just don't think it's economically viable.

That is good but not enough to base a business on. How about elderly and disabled small fee do grocery shopping, cigs,drugstore,post office, doctors appt. reasonable hourly rate. Versatility is where it at. good luck Here's a possible start.

Take a look at how I do my psychic business from home.
Then see if you can fit something similar around your own area of expertise. (About $300 will get you started.)
Then all you need is a passion, some persistence, and you know that old fashioned word - w.o.r.k. http://www.psychic-junkie.com/are-you-psychic.html

You could just start with you and your friends as a weekend gig. You'll need to spend money upfront though. Flyers and advertising, not to mention you'll probably want to have a supply of cigarettes on hand.

Nope. Bad for health. Plus you would need state licenses for dealing with tobacco. You can not adjust the price of cigarettes. This is illegal

Any idea how much you would charge? What about overhead? Mileage and car care? Insurance? How much could you make in 1 month? A year?

That's a great idea, as long as you're not in California. You'd go bankrupt fast here.
