Jose Martinez, 26, drives up the street to an Amoco service station in Mount Vernon, where he pays $5.50 a pack. The trip saves him about $10 a week on his pack-a-day Newport habit.Jose Martinez is not saving $10 dollars a week. He's spending about $25 dollars a week more than he would if he bought his smokes online.
He'd spend even less if he "stuffed his own" cigarettes.
Wake-up and smell the taxes, Jose.
