Just got home after a very nice morning and read this article.

Good Lord,doesn't the government have enough to do?

They keep upping the taxes and fed-up smokers still find ways to avoid them. Do you think the idiots will ever get it?

Massachusetts now DOUBLES the price for cigs with the heavy taxes and is considering raising it again to pay health insurance for those without it.

It boggles the mind.

Sis, I keep telling everyone to ROLL THEIR OWN!!  When Maine raised the taxes on cigarettes a few years ago, putting my Premiums up to $45-$50 a carton, depending on where I bought them, I have now been rolling my own for the past two years.  For just a little UNDER $8.00, I roll out a beautiful carton of cigarettes, and I am NOT paying into the stupid state coffers any more.

And it's perfectly legal.  I buy the filtered tubes and my menthol tobacco at the Smoke Shop in town, and I order the Supermatic Rolling off of the Net.  I love it!  And I am a VERY happy camper.  SCREW THE STATE COFFERS. heh
