A local gas station was advertising a carton of cigarettes for $65.00.

Could not believe the price of cigarettes.

I don't smoke, but I would probably make them myself with these prices!!!

Hey @nana59 I live in KY if you want to "holla" at me!

@missy1 Wow! If you calculate those prices on a "pack-a-day" habit and depending on where you live, the annual cost is at minimum $2088 and a maximum of $5092!

Not scolding but I will tell you this: My mom and DH BOTH died from lung cancer, both smoked for years.

DH quit some years before he got ill but because he started in his teens, the damage had been done.

At one point when visiting my mom she asked me to go out and buy her some cigarettes. I told her I'd sooner put a loaded gun in her hand.

I love in Arizona and my neighbor smokes. She would buy her cartons on the reservation and put them on a credit card. Evidently Arizona audited their records and my neighbor got a tax bill for her unpaid cigarette taxes to the state.

To spend that kind of money on something so awful for you and those around you. Horrid addiction. Both my parents died from smoking related illnesses. Young.

Oh, sorry, I'm not supposed to say anything critical. Ooops, slipped out!

My dad was just 61 when he died of lung cancer ,he and my mom smoked from their teens, i thought after what my mom saw happening to my dad ,she would quit, but she did not but she got bladder cancer,and she stopped all at once ,that was maybe15 years ago. So pround of her.

When you lose some one you L~O~V~E, that Memory of them, becomes a TREASURE.
