Faber College, Delta House..On double secret proba
Went to a smoke shop today, to pick up a newspaper.
Now I used to smoke, but gave it up long ago, so I have not been paying attention to the cost of Ciggi-Butts.
The guy in front of me bought 2 large packs, and he paid with a $20.
He got 20 cents change!:eek:
Yikes..I feel bad for the smokers.
 
I don't. Fuck'em. Burning their money, fucking up my health (and their own), my environment.
I hope they pay $30 for smokes.
The burden on the health care system because of some stupid habit they chose to pick up...good.
 
That's a bit on the high side in comparison to other places if you shop around. Some dollar stores sell large packs for as low as $8.75. Most 24hr type places are around $9.50. A couple of weeks ago though I paid $10.25 That really pissed me off. Just because it was the smoke shop at Airport Marriot they jack up the price. If there was any other place in walking distance I would have told them to shove it.
 
Fuck....

...EVERYTHING in Canada cost too much!!!

I never smoked cigs (at least not often enough to ever buy them), but I am all but certain they don't cost this much in the U.S.....

Look, I hate the smell of smoke too. It's just that life should be full of the little pleasures. Booze, smokes, women, They all cost money.
Let them enjoy their ( shorter ) life.

What kind of margin is there on Butts?

That would be fine with me if they jack it up a whole lot all of a sudden. Cause then the black market would open up again. Big $$, big time.

Seem that their plan is working though. They just raise the price in small increments so that it don't hurt too much and that way the black market has no business. Albeit there is a small underground following that will get you native smokes off some reserve some where for about $5./per pack.

Way back in the early/mid 90's the price went up by $2/$3per pack and all of a sudden everybody and his brother was driving to Cornwall to fill there trunk with $15. carton cases of ciggs and bringing them home and selling them for $25. It was nothing to sell 2 or 3 cases per week-end. At 24 cartons to a case $10. profit per carton... not a bad chunk of change.

In Barrie, you can buy 2 large packs of the value brand ones for $15 with tax.

Of course there are value brand available here too. If I was dirt poor I would buy them. But as long as I'm able I'll pay the price cause my experience is you get what you pay for. A lot of those value brands fall apart. They are packed very loose so sometimes you pull out a smoke and there is only 1/2 of it there and empty paper.
 
I hear my friends complain all the time about cigarettes and the cost of it. LOL I hated the smell of it all the time. I actually baned them from smokeing in my house and car. :) I bet the prices are going to go up more in the future.

I'm not a smoker but I like the bylaws now, before it was tough for me to go into a restaurant and try to sit down and have a good meal without choking or just smelling cigarettes smoke while eating a meal wait wait, also coming out of the restaurants and clubs and your clothes just reek of smoke, I couldn't wait to get home and change out of my clothes and put them in the wash.

Now I love it I can actually taste the food now breath better in restaurants and pubs, go to them and coming out without a odor of smelling like cigarette smoke. Whooooooo

Sorry for the ladies and gents that do smoke. I know it must be hard not to smoke.

You can get ciigs from Indian reserve for $15. a bag of 200. They are not in packs just loose in a bag. Some people what they do is go to a reserve somewhere and pick up a dozen bags or so for their friends etc. There is no black market like there use to be though. Back in the good old days you could get any brand you wanted by the case load. And even nicer nobody bothered you for selling them. If you wanted to you could just stuff your back pack and hit all the bars, pool halls etc... sell 10 or 12 cartons on a Friday night in full view of bar staff etc and nobody said boo.
 
Anyone who smokes today are FUCKING retarded! If our government had any balls they would ban smoking!

Have given up everything else enjoyable, ie, partying, gambling, drinking, refuse to give up smoking and hobbying. Lets hope the government never figures out a way to tax us on hobbying.
 
I don't care for cancer sticks. my bf quit smoking just because I refuse to buy hin a pack when I run out the store. I can use 20$ for groceries, and have a healthy diet. why would I use a 20$ to buy cancer sticks.
