now the only time i'll be able to smoke will be when I bum or when the Camel kids are at the bars

3/8/2009 9:00:24 PM

I never understood the poor people that smoke. Seems like a HUGE opportunity cost for them.

3/8/2009 9:01:43 PM

I, too, was sad to find this out.

3/8/2009 9:02:12 PM

how many poor people do you think understand opportunity costs

besides hippies

3/8/2009 9:02:41 PM

this combined with them getting closer and closer to banning smoking in public places (see: Bars) is making it easier and easier to quit smoking

3/8/2009 9:04:49 PM

No sympathy.

3/8/2009 9:05:30 PM

I thought NC already had that ban in place?

3/8/2009 9:06:26 PM

hahhaha

3/8/2009 9:07:18 PM

quit being a fag and stop smoking.

3/8/2009 9:10:11 PM

I got a coupon for $4 off 4 packs or 1 carton of any style Marlboro Cigs

3/8/2009 9:11:22 PM

you'll end up like that old bitch on TV with the voicebox

3/8/2009 9:19:07 PM

you'll end up like that old bitch on TV with the voicebox

3/8/2009 9:19:07 PM

3/8/2009 9:19:18 PM

3/8/2009 9:22:56 PM

3/8/2009 9:26:43 PM

I don't smoke but I don't mind it. This state needs the crop.

Nixon's not bringing the smokes?

3/9/2009 3:39:23 PM

If I couldn't afford to smoke dope

I would get a better job before I considered quitting

I was at a QP a week for a while but now its more like an O and a half

3/9/2009 4:38:04 PM

lol @smoking smarties

3/9/2009 4:42:54 PM

^^an O and a half a week is ridiculous. I can't even fathom a QP a week. you must be smokin' that ditch weed.

I was staying at the Oberoi in Mumbai 4 years ago (one of the 5 stars that got blown up in November) and decided to order a pack from room service. They brought me Marlboro Lights (with "Richmond, VA" stamped on the bottom) on a silver platter and asked me to sign the bill for them.

~$1.20

3/9/2009 5:13:12 PM

A BUCK TWENTY???

i hope you got a complimentary shoe shine out of that.

highway robbers

3/9/2009 5:15:58 PM

I quit smoking in April 1999. LOL @ smokers.

3/9/2009 5:16:27 PM

Ive only ever smoked one cig

But Ive been watching the fuck outta Mad Men.

I swear that show is produced by the tobacco industy. And they are doing a damn fine job with the advertising of the product. Every time I watch the show I want to go out and buy a pack....

While i was working in AK for a summer, my buddy would have his mom send him cartons of p funks and camels to sell for 5 dollars a pack...compared to the 7-8 dollar packs up there..

3/9/2009 7:07:03 PM

up over 8 bucks a pack in quebec. Im so glad we quit. the gum and stuff is expensive too, but it helps a lot.

3/9/2009 7:19:38 PM

dollar bucks or canadian bucks?

3/10/2009 10:52:55 AM

it was 4 bucks even at the store for me last night

3/10/2009 10:53:25 AM

lol

3/10/2009 10:55:46 AM

At least with playing the lottery there is potential for something good to happen. Smoking is the worst way to waste money.

3/10/2009 10:57:06 AM

They should start putting rolled up $100 bills in random cigarette packs then.

3/10/2009 10:58:01 AM

i couldn´t afford to smoke to begin with

3/10/2009 10:59:01 AM

I am all for free will and shit, and spening your paper how you want to, but smoking for fuck's sake is pointless.

3/10/2009 11:00:24 AM
