Thoughts on the new California cigarette tax?

>>728191224

Poor people will buy ever increasingly shitty brands to offset tax cost and I have to smell ever increasingly awful second hand smoke.

At this point we should tax non smokers and use the money to fund better cigs for smokers.

I FUCKING HATE IT

>>728191505
lmao love this.

>>728191224
well I'm happy I quit cold turkey

>>728191224
I used to work at a gas station and noticed that smokers are very stingy with money. It makes sense because they're throwing money away but with the new law they're gonna come in with coupons for their coupons to buy a pack that's 50cents off AND buy two at a time to get a 10cent discount. It's gonna be no different

8 DOLARS FUCKING 75 CENTS FOR A PACK OF SMOKES

Didn't even know that was a thing, how much is the tax? And what is it for exactly?

We have a new tax on cigarettes in the province of Ontario, Canada. If you buy smokes at the store, it's $10.15 for the cheapest pack. Luckily, I can drive to the nearest Indian reserve and pick up a carton of cheap smokes for $25. Why would I ever buy smokes in the city??

>>728192384
Also, the bottom-of-the-barrel smokes are $7 for a bag of 200. But don't go that cheap-- those smokes are made of floor sweepin's

>>728191224
Shouldn't be a problem dude. They can just raise minimum wage again to pay for the tax rate increases.

>>728191224
The state excise tax rate is $4.35 per package of 20 cigarettes. The New York City local excise tax is $1.50 per package of 20 cigarettes, bringing the combined tax rate for a package of 20 cigarettes purchased in New York City to $5.85.

Get over it faggot.

Come to Australia mate, we have $30 or $40 packs of smokes and therefore we have some of the lowest smoking rates in the world. Fuck smokers, they stink and are a drag on both the public health system (which we all pay for) and in the workplace, when they have to duck out every 20 minutes whereas I can't, since I dont smoke. Fuck them.

I pay about 14 bucks for a pack of cigarettes in Manhattan.

>>728191224

i get a pound of tobacco and 250 tubes for 22 bucks in arizona. i usually need another box of tubes later in the week. then, the pound makes two cartons. 8 bucks a pack? ok.

>>728193160

I don't smoke cigs, never tried it but do you guys who smoke find it addictive or just a easy past time?

>>728191865

what the hippies, that voted for this tax, dont realize is that this new tax will also effect all products with nicotine in it. so vape, patches etc will go up in prices

>>728194652
ok, i guess its not so here, still that tax is stupid

>>728194292
This is a fake website, right? No way.

I pay twice that for less in a shit neighborhood.

Some real OC get in here
>>728193116

>>728194692
What? I can't believe they'd tax all nicotine products, particularly the ones used to help people STOP smoking cigarettes.

>>728194797
we'll see what actually happens when it comes up, i think the tax for all nicotine items is in june? something of the sort

>>728195208
i dont even know how much that pack costs now... i started smoking camel filters to save a few bucks

>>728195208
They were my choice also before i quit, I still buy a pack sometimes if I'm going out drinking and they're £10-11 here

Maybe it'll be the kick in the pants I.need to quit. I've been smoking for nearly a decade.

>>728191224

It's got to be a tax on tobacco or something, I don't think anybody's abusing the gum and patches. No idea how they'd fuck the vapefags like that though, but being a vapefag is probably punishment enough.

>>728191882
Extra $2 tax per pack, it's to try and make people quit smoiking, but it won't work, it will just make the poor poorer.

>>728195622
considering trump is unqualified and a nigger retard liar, and his cabinet has like 5 goldman sachs people in it, and retards still defend him, what the fuck is your point?

>>728195622

Bottles last varying from 9-30 days.

I save gorillians annually vaping, while acknowledging that sweet sweet nicotine is bad, the only downfall is robot cock gay jokes.
