haVoc Posted June 16, 2008 Report Posted June 16, 2008 Taxes went up again so I've seen cigarettes any where from $6 to $8 here in NY. Not that I'm paying that. I've been ordering online for a while now from http://www.cheap-cigarettes-sale.com/ I get 3 cartons of Marlboro's for under $60. That includes shipping from Europe.
Retard Girl Posted June 16, 2008 Report Posted June 16, 2008 $5.40 for a pack of Newports. they're cheaper in NH, but not by a whole lot.
Guest Tzar Lysergic Posted June 16, 2008 Report Posted June 16, 2008 Buy two get ones at right around $10.
The Metal Maniac Posted June 16, 2008 Report Posted June 16, 2008 Lucky bastards. Smokes around here run between $8-$11 a pack, depending on the brand.
RepoMan Posted June 16, 2008 Report Posted June 16, 2008 I paid 7.35 for Marb Lights after the tax increase in NY State.
Dr. Zoidberg Posted June 17, 2008 Report Posted June 17, 2008 A cool 3.65 a pack of Marlboro Lights, and a smooooth 4.50 for a pack of Kamel Reds.
Guest Jesus Freaks on Coke Posted June 17, 2008 Report Posted June 17, 2008 It must suck to be a black person who smokes, because then the government is idiot-taxing you through the lottery AND cigarettes.
Guest Posted June 17, 2008 Report Posted June 17, 2008 Whatever you're paying for cigarettes, it isn't enough.
death_by_burrito Posted June 17, 2008 Report Posted June 17, 2008 Bought the girlfriend a pack of Marborol 27s the other day for 5.15.
FroGG_NeaL Posted June 17, 2008 Report Posted June 17, 2008 Newports are between 3.65 and 4.30-something here. Marlboros are about 30 cents cheaper then Ports. I'm gonna start ordering cartons of smokes from the Ukraine like haVoc. Them shits is cheap.
Kristianna Posted June 17, 2008 Report Posted June 17, 2008 My mother buys them by the case at Indian reservation, and since she smokes the same ones I do, she sends me a carton for free every week or so. I mean hell, who do you think I was stealing them from when I was 16 anyway? But yeah, if I have to buy some here and there, its around 5.50 or so after taxes for Marlboros.
Corey_Lazarus Posted June 18, 2008 Report Posted June 18, 2008 $5.76 for Marlboro 27s. Really, don't complain in Cali. We haven't paid less than $5 for name-brand smokes in YEARS.
The Ghost of bps21 Posted June 18, 2008 Report Posted June 18, 2008 I think they're like $6.80 or something up here.
Kinetic Posted June 18, 2008 Report Posted June 18, 2008 A pack of First Class will run you about $2.35 'round these parts. These are generics, but are indistinguishable from Basics, which had been my brand for years prior to my descent into poverty.
Nighthawk Posted June 19, 2008 Report Posted June 19, 2008 Shit... Basics were what I smoked when I was broke.
FroGG_NeaL Posted June 19, 2008 Report Posted June 19, 2008 Basics are probably the second best cheap cigarettes, after USA Golds, to me.
The Ghost of bps21 Posted June 19, 2008 Report Posted June 19, 2008 I remember in college being able to get a pack of basics and 2 40s for 5 bucks. ... college ruled.
Guest Smues Posted June 19, 2008 Report Posted June 19, 2008 I'm a non-smoker but I had a question for you smokers in the lesser lower 48. How old do you have to be in your state to buy smokes? I thought it was 18 throughout the US but it is 19 in Alaska, so I'm curious if any other states have a different age.
The Ghost of bps21 Posted June 19, 2008 Report Posted June 19, 2008 It's 18 in New York. I thought it was 18 across the board.
FroGG_NeaL Posted June 19, 2008 Report Posted June 19, 2008 It's been 18 in every state I've been to.
Jaxxson Mayhem Posted June 19, 2008 Report Posted June 19, 2008 I'm a non-smoker but I had a question for you smokers in the lesser lower 48. How old do you have to be in your state to buy smokes? I thought it was 18 throughout the US but it is 19 in Alaska, so I'm curious if any other states have a different age. Thought it was 18 everywhere too. Wiki tells me this... Beginning on April 1, 1998, the sale of cigarettes and other tobacco products to people under 18 is now prohibited by law in all fifty states of the United States. The legal age of purchase has been additionally raised to 19 in Alabama, Alaska, New Jersey, Utah, and Nassau, Suffolk, and Onondaga Counties in New York.[22] The intended effect of this is to prevent upper class high school students from purchasing cigarettes for their younger peers. Legislation was pending as of 2004 in some other states. In Massachusetts[23] and Virginia[citation needed], parents and guardians are allowed to give cigarettes to minors, but sales to minors are prohibited.
Guest Smues Posted June 19, 2008 Report Posted June 19, 2008 Interesting. I guess that makes sense to me, although there are still always a handful of kids in highschool that are 19.
Kinetic Posted June 19, 2008 Report Posted June 19, 2008 Shit... Basics were what I smoked when I was broke. They sell for somewhere in the area of $3.50 a pack here, which is at the high end of what I'm willing to pay for cigarettes. Things like Newports and Marlboros are generally a little more than $4. My recent gas station experience has revealed to me that many of the same people who feel the need to blow $4+ for a pack of Newports are willing to get no more than $2.00 in gas, which is basically enough to get you down to the nearest stoplight and back.
Matt Young Posted June 20, 2008 Report Posted June 20, 2008 Who the fuck is in high school when they're 19? I graduated at age 17.
Dr. Zoidberg Posted June 20, 2008 Report Posted June 20, 2008 People could get held back a year or two, some people joined that school system late...there are all sorts of reasons. I knew a few 19 year olds in High School, too. Anyway, should any of you happen to travel to Cuba, you're in luck. When I was there, packs of cigarettes were 1.50, and a carton was 5 bucks. Hollywood brand, Vegas brand, Big Apple brand...all delicious. Ah, I miss ol' Coo-buh.
