Thread: NYC - $13 a pack for smokes

    NYC - $13 a pack for smokes

    Wow.

    http://cbsn.ws/2wlorh0

    Wish my Mom had lived in New York. Could not have afforded her smoking and still been with us.

    For my smoking friends (I ask you all to stop, but it's your choice), is there a price that would get you to stop smoking?

    Is this price gouging? You can probably by them cheaper in Houston right now.

    At that price surely people will look to move away from it, but the drug addicts with $300 a day habits prove that there is no price to get people off of something to which they are really hooked.
    People keep asking if I'm back and I haven't really had an answer. But now, yeah, I'm thinkin' I'm back.

    Maybe NYC could trade water to Houston for cigarettes...

    You're welcome.

    While it does affect current addicts some, as you said addicts will do what they can to feed their addiction. This is more about preventing new smokers from starting. It makes it, in essence, cost prohibitive for most teens even if they find someone to buy it for them.

    I've found that an avid smoker will reluctantly vary his intake to match his financial situation and/or lung capacity. That distinguishes his unmistakable addiction slightly

    “Before I leave I’d like to see our politics begin to return to the purposes and practices that distinguish our history from the history of other nations,
    “I would like to see us recover our sense that we are more alike than different. We are citizens of a republic made of shared ideals forged in a new world to replace the tribal enmities that tormented the old one. Even in times of political turmoil such as these, we share that awesome heritage and the responsibility to embrace it.”
