I can't STAND Phillip Morris. They talk out of both sides of their filthy mouths.

Why haven't they stopped producing cigarettes if they are SO against them!

They should stop shipping to states that have severe anti-smoking laws. I wonder what that would do to the tax base.

In 98 in Armenia, the normal red hard pack of Marlboro were $8.00 a carton with their tax on the cigarettes.

a way of trying to curtail illegal sales of cigarettes

If they would stop taxing the hell out of them people would have no problem buying them legally.

New York state Governor, George Pataki recently sent his 2006-2007 budget plan to the state legislature which included a proposal to raise the state’s current cigarette excise tax to $2.50 per pack. This proposal represents an increase of $1.00 over the current tax of $1.50 per pack and, if enacted, would make New York state’s cigarette excise tax the highest in the nation.

Well, here is one alternative:

Can't stand the high taxes?

Afraid to order off of the Internet?

Then start rolling your own!!! I find everything but the machine downtown at the local Smoke Shop. Also, Rite Aid and grocery stores also sell the bags of tobacco and the filtered tubes.

I roll out a beautiful carton for a little under $8 dollars. Premiums in my state are now up to $45-$50 a carton. Can you imagine the money I have saved over the past 4 years since I now roll my own? It's mind boggling.

under $50.00

Check StuffYourOwn for prices on tobacco

$1.99 for 200 filtered tubes

Make your own cigarettes for as low as $6.99 per Carton! Smoke Quality FILTERED cigarettes that you make yourself using cigarette tubes (like a cigarette without the Cigarette tobacco), our cigarette making machines, and our "roll your own" cigarette tobacco.

You're kidding, right?
So long as they are guarateed a fixed profit, including the cost of playing tax collector, why should they care how high the price goes?
