Well,two things...first,regardless of what shape a tobacco cigarette is and regardless of how little tobacco it might have do you really think that states like New York,Connecticut or California will cut the tax? IIRC a pack of cigarettes only costs something like a dollar to produce...the rest is Federal,state and local taxes.

Second....not to be preachy...having worked in health care for 20+ years *and* having watched both my parents die ugly deaths thanks to cigarettes maybe you can try to quit.

Better health for you...and less of your hard earned cash funding cushy pensions for politicians in Sacramento and DC.

Just sayin'....

I don’t fully agree with you, but I appreciate your heartfelt advice. You have been in the ‘eye of the storm’, so I have to respect that.
