The goverment puts alot of taxes on cigarettes for a reason....SO YOU DONT BUY THEM and cause them to flip for the bill when you are dying in the hospital with emphyzema since they do have a national health care there. eh

Prices are unreal for everything now. Like rent, even renting a dump is expensive. Why is it that living has such a high price? No wonder so many people become homeless, or in such need. I used to fill an entire grocery cart, heaping, for $100, now it's $200. That would last me the entire month. Sad, so sad.

No wonder it's a 'free' country, w. smokers paying that much tax everyone else is getting a free ride.
In the UK smokers pay for half the National Health Service then die early just at the age when most people start using 3 quarters of the NHS resources that they will consume in their lives.

immediately in the city, they value upwards of $15 funds for one %.. between the Supermarkets is promoting Newports for $13.sixty seven. I drove round and this crap is everywhere! In 2004 i keep in mind going to the 7-11 and seeing cigarettes indexed at $4 funds and modify! in the 70s, I heard you would possibly want to get a %. of cigarettes for in elementary words 50 cents. With inflation adjusted funds, 50 cents in 1975 is equaled to in elementary words $2.03 in the present day. I heard they reached one greenback in 1990. Thats in elementary words worth $a million.sixty seven in the present day. No the position close to $15 funds.

You pay more than that for hard drugs, and since cigs. are just as harmful, you should pay a lot more. Raise the taxes to $15.00 per pack, Canada.
