  • Hi Members,

    I am just wondering from smokers how much your paying in your area for a pack of smokes. I know in Chicago its the highest tax in the country. Not to mention liquor taxes.

    A pack of smokes in Chicago costs 9-10 bucks! I usually have to travel out of the county to find them cheaper.

    When buying a drink now in some bars...there is a tax! Buying a cocktail for 12 bucks.... will now cost 12 bucks and change. I'm not sure if anywhere in the country anyone is taxed on a drink. In fact i think that is illegal. Businesses are trying to absorb the liquor tax and charging the customer.

    Interested to hear what people are paying....i might just have to move!!!

  • Nahh don't move Lips, here's some info for you smiley

    http://www.ryocigarette.com/

    You can roll your own or do the "Injection Method) (I do have the equipment for both) and they also have the electric cigaretts.

    I usually buy (across the border) at a local cigar shop tobacco by the pound and the tubes are $2.50 each for 200. I can usually get 3 cartons out of $47.50 but the "Blend" as not quite the quality of Camel/Marlboro however, for that "Fix" it's good.

    If I bought Camel/Marlboro I'd be spending my previous amount for just 1 carton.

    There's a bit of trickery also going on. Before, they had Cheyenne Cigarettes. With a change of paper, they became "Little Cigars" and thus, they cost $3 a pack (Not including tax) instead of $4.59 a pack.

  • Hi lipstick,
    maybe you want to move over here to europe, im not a smoker but my hubby is and here in portugal you can buy a pack of cigarettes for around 3.50 euros (around $4.50 i think).
    As for alcohol(more my specialiality) you can get a  beer for around 2.50 and cocktails for around 5.00 if you steer clear of the touristy bars. smiley smiley smiley

  • Yup cigs are getting really expensive and they are going up $1.00 a pack again on 9/1/09.  This is a federal tax I understand.  I have a friend who gets them for me at the military base so I am now paying $3.60/pack for generic USA Gold.  In regular stores they are $5.00 and change.

    As to liquor, I tend bar and every drink is taxed, but the tax is included in the price where I work.  So no pennies lol.  Also beer prices are going up soon here too.

    Where will it stop?

  • around 5.00 a pack.. marlboros have a dollar off where i go
    so pretty good on cigs... so i get them around 4 a pack plus tax about 30 cents i think

    drinks.. he he he he.. free if you gamble lmao..
    thats not actually free...but at least when you gamble it's not taxed lol

  • Here in Michigan I swear our taxes have taxes.
                A pack of smokes is costing me $5.65 to $6.00 per pack.  :-\


  • People, I just QUIT smoking after 35 yrs. And I loved to smoke, I was Marlboro reds, then went to Newports for 10 yrs.  Well I did the CHANTIX, THIS IS THE ONE YOU CAN STILL SMOKE ON IT. I did the 30 day starter pack, costs $120 I know, and you need a prescription. Got it from my Dentist, yes dentist. I went 5 days and that was it, all I needed and after 35 yrs I can smell like perfume not smoke.  The prices going up so high is what got me, when you add up the amt of $ in a wk you spend on this bad habit then you'll get pissed and say enough!! I am spending money on something that is not tangible I cant eat it or see it after I smoke it it's gone money down the drain.  cool
  • Hi Lucky,

    First things first.....its nice to see ya writing a post here!!!! A Huge hug goes out to you for quitting. It's not an easy thing to do and you conquered it.

    I keep saying im gonna quit tomorrow....but tomorrow never comes. I really need to focus on it. Your an inspiration!

  • Hey lucky, good going there, but in truth the money for smoking could be said for gambling. You get "something" but unless you win in gambling, you get "nothing"

    I think that for most, a "Helping Hand" be it some group, or item to help quit is effective, though I have heard cold-turkey is the most reliable method.

    I think I'll wait cheesy

    Added for Taadaaa and others "Possible" benefit.

    The pic below is my three machines.

    78mm short roler.

    100mm extra long roller (I need to get a new one.

    The "injector" It was on sale at the website I posted Cost was $20 with $8.95 shipping.

    Has been a good tool and is heavy duty steel.

  • jump up again,  shocked shocked shocked2 months or so ago it's at $5.75.  Now, $6.25 for a box of Marlboro in California.  I consider buying tobaco with rolling paper and roll it up to save some money >:( >:(

  • Taaa,

    Check out the Pack Smokes/drink thread......see what peeps are paying.

  • I know TAAADAAA, I am in California too!!  I smoke menthol so I can't roll those myself.  I did come across a web site that sells seeds, they had all kinds of flavored tobacco seeds.  They say tobacco can grow anywhere and it takes about 6 plants and 4-6 weeks to make a carton!!!!!  I am going to try it at least once!!!  lol
