Okay, I know this is HIGHLY a dumb topic, but I'd like to compare brands and prices with everyone.
Yes, I do smoke.
Anyways, what brand of cigarettes do you smoke or prefer? How much does it cost? I heard in the USA smokes are dirt cheap.
I smoke Peter Jackson King Regular, $7.70 a pack, for 25.
Every now and then I like to "indulge" myself, if you may, with menthols. Usually Benson and Hodges Menthol 100s at $9.15, or Craven Menthol King Regular at $8.86.

Maverick menthol 100's $24.95 a carton. I never bought cigs by the pack so I don't know the price. I've tried every method known to man to quit. I smoked cigs made out of lettuce for a month (nasty smelly things) once trying to quit. I will never ever try to quit again after the last withdrawal I suffered.

Winston Lights and its about $23 a carton, but I recieve coupons in the mail for $4 off a carton so its less than $20 for the carton. I go thorough a carton a week.
How can you afford to smoke conestogo? $7 bucks a pack.

Quiting is around the corner for me, sometime with in the next year I hope. Good luck on the quiting conestogo, hope it works for you.

I quit smoking on April 24th, or about six weeks ago. I've already saved $300, or enough money for a trip to New Orleans.

$3/$4 a pack?!?!
The cheapest you can buy here that I know of, are Canadians or McDonalds at $4.99 a pack. But, they taste like crap.
There is a new law year-began June 1, 2006-that makes smoking illegal in all areas but your property and designated smoking areas at school and work. It's a stupid law, everyone is still smoking where-ever they want though.

I think that is what he was talking about being 4 bucks a pack.
BTW that new law sux. They are talking about passing a law to prevent people from smoking on the beaches here. Yeah right. Like that will work.

When you are outside people are going to light up just about where they want to regaurdless.

I can get a 3 pack special at the Hess Station (Marlboro Ultra Lights is my brand) for $9.12. The 5-pack special is a little cheaper.
The 3-Pack special usually lasts me a week. My brother gets cartons for about $26.00 including tax.

Marlboro light 100's - between $4.50 and $5 a pack depending on where you buy them. When I go to my daughter's in Roanoke, Va. I usually stock up cause they're half the price of Pa. I need to move South or stop smoking.

How can you complain about the price of gas when you willingly pay $3.00 and up per pack of cigarettes for the opportunity to kill yourself?

Anytime I hear anybody complain about their dire finances, I ask if they smoke. If they say yes, I don't feel the least bit sorry for them. Of course, if you have the money to smoke and don't care about killing yourself, I say go nuts.
