2|1|I roll my own cigs|cinda68|lacinda68@gmail.com|13:49:50|03/12/2009|
I use american spirit tobacco in the can and a machine to roll my own cigs. It costs about 1.50 a pack and american spirit has no additives or chemicals like the other brands. It tastes great and it is so much cheaper. You just need the loose rolling tobacco, king size papers with filters in the box (zig zag brand is best) and a machine to make them, my machine cost around $25.
Lots of people I know are doing this now and once you get the hang of it, pretty easy to do. Sometimes I don't have time to roll a pack and I buy marlboro and YUCK, they are awful. American spirit tastes the best and even if you buy a pack of american spirit, it costs more than all the other brands. So instead of me paying 5.75 a pk for american spirit, I make my own for 1.50 a pk.
3|2|Our dear..Governer.....STEVE BEASHER ..adds on .60 a pack tax.....come april 1.......|couponsnsamples|cpsnsamples@aol.com|13:55:17|03/12/2009|
so.......they will be even higher........my hub smokes like 2 cartons a week!!!!!
i dont smoke.......but we bought a machine..and he/we have been rolling some of his too...that one sack of tobacco..we got..we paid like $8..and it rolled a bit over 2 cartons..........so all i can say..is he better get used to the "roll your own cigs" cause we are not gonna pay that much for a carton of generic cigs.........that is stupid.......
its like everything else......they go higher and higher......but you dont see the poor old farmer getting paid higher and higher for his crop.............
at this rate................"kentuckys #1 cash crop.." would be almost cheaper that cigs...if u know what i mean....... 4|1|The new higher Federal tax on all cigarettes (and other tobacco products)|ForrestLayne|wechuckwood@gmail.com|14:21:26|03/12/2009|
will go into effect April 1. Also some states are adding an additional increase in their state tax on tobacco products.
The new higher Federal tax is from Obama signing a bill in Feb.

"The major tax increase on cigarettes, smokeless tobacco and cigars will fund a $32.8 billion expansion of the State Children's Health Insurance Program, providing coverage to an additional 4 million children."

I'm not a smoker, but I think it's simply wrong to punish people who smoke by raising the price so high they can't afford to buy them...if they are going to raise the prices of things that are bad for you,,,then they better start heading to the liquor stores...because drunk drivers are bad for you too,,,,yet I don't see officials trying to gouge liquor drinkers.....it's insanity!

more people who already suffer in many ways will suffer more and if you don't like it or can't afford it then stop in the end you'll be better for it My Dad was a heavy smoker and an alcoholic died from cancer at the age of 55 had it in his lungs and liver he never lived to see 4 of his grandchildren born or the birth of his greatgrand child all of which he would have been better off seeing than missing

which is good for you especially 4 oz red wine daily for women that contains Resveratrol. I occasionally have a glass of red wine, and I think for men it's around 12 oz of beer, 4 oz wine or 2 oz hard liquor per day, so this is fine as long as it's in moderation.

25|2|well i dont believe that|tarasdream|jumpwoman23@hotmail.com |13:14:15|03/14/2009|
cigarettes is the sole cause of lung cancer i know people that smoke until they are in there 80s or 90s and dont get lung cancer. and i know people that died from lung cancer and never smoked in there life, i had a friend that just died from lung cancer and she never smoked nor does her husband. you cant smoke in public places any more but if you pay attention to the death notices in my town 90 percent of the deaths are from some type of cacer. i believe its in the air in our clothes and our food. the fire department here just had to change the material in there pants because it was making them sick. at least smoking doesnt kill people like drunks do. men beat and kill there wife and kids, drunk drivers kill everyday. and ive never heard of a marriage broken up because of smoking. 28|2|i disagree as well, it is not a "great thing" for the government to raise taxes on cigs so high people can't afford them..................|pussecat|pu55ecat@aol.com|18:00:19|03/14/2009|
it's discrimination, plain and simple.
it's the same thing as if the government decided to put an extra tax on feminine hygene products in order to help pay for health costs. it's not right. it would be discrimination.

PERIOD! it is not fair at all! what about all of the smokers who DON'T have children? what about all of the NON-SMOKERS who do have children, is it "right" or "fair" of them to ask someone else to pay the healthcare costs for THEIR children? no! it's not. i don't ask YOU (or anyone else on these boards or in the usa) to pay for MY child's healthcare do i? NO! i don't. my husband and i pay for that OURSELVES, just as we should. and, we are BOTH tobacco users so does that mean that now, since we will be paying .70 MORE for each pack of cigs we buy or dip we purchase, that now we should file for frederal health coverage for our son? seems only fair doesn't it? ***** BOYCOTT COUPON CLIPPING SERVICES that don't want YOU trading ***** high insurance costs to cover smokers illness's either but I do
49|8|look tina, i have no problem helping children who need help...............|pussecat|pu55ecat@aol.com|12:43:54|03/15/2009| but let me say this................ this plan is supposed to be for a UNIFORM healthcare plan for children correct? then it should be paid for UNIFORMLY and i mean by EVERYONE, the same amount across the board. not one person paying $50 a month and another person only paying $4.00 into the program. i am all for fair taxation to be put towards healthcare for ANY individual within the usa, but when i can't get health insurance for myself, i find the pill a little hard to swallow that i have to pay for it for others. ***** BOYCOTT COUPON CLIPPING SERVICES that don't want YOU trading ***** our insurance costs us plenty but we know what not having it would be like so we give up other things to make sure we got it

At least that's what they keep saying the tax is for. Smokers are not junkies. I'm an adult and enjoy smoking. If it kills me. Then I will be dead and won't care. The so-called dangers of second hand are overly exaggerated. Look it up for yourself!!! In the past year or so several of my friends have quit smoking. All of them quit smoking because of rising prices due to state and local increases to cigarette taxes. I don’t like where things could be headed. As the taxes continue to increase, more smokers are going to quit or limit their smoking to social activities. As a result tax revenue will not reach projected levels. The next step is pretty obvious: another increase in cigarette taxes. Heaven forbid that we make everyone share the same burden. Given the rampant obesity in this country, we should be taxing fast food and finding a way to penalize people who can walk to work but insist on driving. to stop the drunk drivers

84|2|well i went |tarasdream|jumpwoman23@hotmail.com |20:02:32|03/15/2009| to a tobacco shop to get a machine to make my own, most of the stores around here are pulling the machines and the tobacco off the shelves. phillip morris is for the tax because they figure if you are addicted you will find a way to buy them.the reason they are pulling the bags of tobacco is they dont have the stuff in them that makes you addicted they are pure tobacco. so they dont want you buying them. as for the tax for healthcare for kids i have a problem paying for kids whose parents make more then i do this healthcare is for kids parents who are in a high income bracket thet they cant get on medicaid or other programs. i read on another site that parents who make 75 thousand a year will still qualify for this program and i think if they make that much a year they should be able to pay for insurance for their kids not me paying for it.

like they do when all drunked up. They need to tax alcohol and beer A mother does not neglect her kids when she smokes a cigarette like she does when in drunk stupor. People don't kill others when driving after smoking a cigarette like they do when drunk. Alcohol needs to be taxed like cigarettes even more. Drinking causes so much more harm to so many more people and yet our governor is spending $175 thousand to teach employees to smile. If they can't smile then fire them and hire ones who can For what they get paid and their benefits they are smiling all the way to the bank Lucy

the government is not taking away your cigarettes nor are they telling you cannot have cigarettes or smoke. There is no restriction on possession. There is no connection between taxation and not allowing you to have the product.
