Some of my co workers were telling me that the price of cigs are drastically going up. I am a non smoker so it doesnt effect me but what about you guys? I heard that they are trying to pass laws or whatever atleast here to raise a pack of cigs to almost 8 bucks, 20 dollar bags where you roll your own cigs to almost 60 bucks. In good news I guess the Michigan gov. is trying to change when bars close from 2am to 4am. I think thats a good idea, works in Chicago and NYC plus it will make a ton more revenue.

My dad was born in 1944 and he told me this one story....
He would smoke back in the day and only made a little bit of money....
Well one day he went to go buy a pack of cigs.... and it went up to about 22 or 23 cents.... He told his friend who was with him "When Cigs hit a quarter, I quit"....
Well needless to say he still smokes... but not that often.. he quit for 5 years and picked it back up.. Then quit for another 3 years and is back at it....

And to those who hate smokers : You're entitled to your own opinion, as we all are. But if it weren't for those of us who smoke and drink, you clean lifers would be paying a hell of a lot more money in taxes. And probably bitching about that, too.
