as someone from the philly area.... anybody who really can afford to blow their money on soda, is just simply grabbing it from the next town over. anyone complaining about it just needs to rethink their lives. i know you got a soda addiction but according to you at 200k a year you can afford it.. for people stuck on ebt.. this is a really good time to rethink their spending.
also doubt that.. all of PA taxed cigs. its why i quit. they jumped from 5 bucks a pack to 8 a pack. really its only 3 bucks more but im not spending 8 bucks a day to kill myself slowly
Raising the price of cigarettes just made people roll their own. Back when I smoked, I bought filter tubes & bags of tobacco online -- cheap. The only difference between pipe & cigarette tobacco was the label on the bag. This is important because cigarette tobacco is taxed at a MUCH higher rate than pipe tobacco. Injector-style rolling machines work really well and I could crank them out perfect every time. Couldn't tell one of my cigs from a store-bought -- for a little less than $2 per pack.
FYI
absolutely i suspect that.. its a vice. i actually bought a vape to curb the habit. but not everyone can do that..vapes are pricey. easier to spend 3 bucks more at a time then 50 bucks in one shot.
I haven't seen the stats but do know quite a few that quit due to price. However, I think I know even more who just switched over to rollies. I don't smoke much, one or two here and there if I'm catching a buzz, but I'd take a marb light over a rollie any day of the week. Pipe tobacco tends to have a sweet cloying smell I just cant get past.
I dont live in the PA area and I am not poor so I am not subject to the tax. Your poor neighbors are. But I can see you care fuck all for them... Real compassionate....
the favoring one type of smoke over another was my issueI favor the Indian Reservations for Tobacco.
Yeah, you've gotta be careful. Some pipe tobacco really is pipe tobacco and isn't good for cigarettes. They brand I liked was Kentucky Select. It smoked exactly like high quality cigarette tobacco.
yup.. i should really care about people who want to drink fucking soda when there are starving people in the streets this winter.
Yeah, show me an article about the number of people that starved to death in PA.... Now that is fucking funny!!!!
starving to death.. now your jumping there buddy. but look up how many homeless people there are in philly. its a major city jackass. last night everything froze over here. who gives a fuck if someone in the city cant afford a fucking soda.
I am? Shit, I better tell my accountant!!! Wait a minute... I own my house.... NM... That reality thing just proved you wrong AGAIN!!!
