Bad Sheeple. They need to go occupy Doomberg's office.

I did that in my broke college days... rolled my own cigs. I wonder if their rolling service gives the cigarettes filters? That was an obstacle I never could overcome.

I don’t smoke,but I see prices at the filling stations when I fill up. Here in Kentucky a pack is around $3.50. No wonder the college students here are driving to NY. They more than pay for the gas...

6$ a pack!?!?!

Good grief!

When I quit smoking back when i was 25, a pack of Marlboro lights was 1.89 at the most expensive drug store, and a carton of them was 10$ at the naval exchange...
