If you are a smoker you are already well aware of the plight of other states (and soon to be Iowa) to take away this freedom of yours. They do this in many ways, but the most common is taxes and the increasing of price. I thought I'd help you win that part of this soon to be war.

Marlboro Filter Cigarettes as low as $11.89 per carton. This is almost 1/4 of the retail cost. With the money saved you better find and buy some political clout. This freedom won't last much longer.

Peace

Well

I'm a smoker, but I disagree with you.

Smoking is a horrible habit, and a costly one. Not just in terms of their price, but the health costs associated with smoking. chosen, do you know that their are 160 toxic chemicals in cigarettes? Toxins like Acetone and Carbon Monoxide.
Companies that offer cigarettes at a discounted price aren't looking out for the consumer, they're trying to line their pockets with more cash while ruining your health. This in turn helps drug companies make more money. More smokers smoking more means more sick people. More sick people means more pills and more pills means higher costs for healthcare.

As a smoker, I wouldn't mind if cigarettes were banned totally.

Ever heard of tax evasion, davie? Brilliant; simply brilliant post..

Smokers, don't let davie lead you down an illegal road...

All cheap-24h.com smokes are made in Europe...under what health and quality controls????

''State taxes are owed by the purchaser, regardless of any statements to the contrary on Internet sites. In addition, federal law requires Internet vendors who sell or ship any quantity of cigarettes into a state to report the sale of cigarettes and certain information concerning the sale, including the name and contact information of the purchasers, to state tax authorities. State tax authorities can then use this information to collect taxes from in-state consumers.''

''Most, if not all, Internet cigarette sellers are evading the laws of the federal and state governments with respect to excise taxes, illegal imports and age verification.''


But hey...go for it if you want...smokers already live with guaranteed risk.

Ask yourself some basic questions:

1) Is it the Governments job to care for you?

No? Then tell them to butt out. (pardon the pun)
Yes? Then why does the government seek to over tax a item 40 years after knowledge of it's ill effects. It's a drug dealers trick, give it away free, get them addicted and take all there money. You want a lawsuit? Try one against a government that stood silent and approved all efforts to addict a population only to increase it's tax revenue.

Peace
