Thread: Tobacco companies sue federal government.

They sell cases at some stores here so you can put your pack in. Then you don't have to see the images. lol. I quit about 5-6 years ago and i think i was paying about 7.50. Now they range from pretty much the same as what Toker said.

Ironically you can buy 2 cartons in iraq for 50 bucks.

Gotta say, I just went cold turkey one day and never went back.

Started smoking camel straights when I was 11 (it was the only camel in the vending machine at the pizza joint), when I was 16 I discovered Pall Mall straights (no longer a premium brand I understand ... all the old men who smoked them died!) last longer, so I smoked those up until I was 24ish. Then my brother came back from Army training and we went on a run together; I decided to quit that night.

Gotta say, food tastes more.

They do change the way things taste. I know last time i quit for the weekend pepsi tasted to sweet. So now i have to smoke so my pepsi tastes right.

Second.....Fuck the Gov't. They make way more money on cigs than the tobacco companies. Nothing like profiting on them but at the same time pretending to be everyone's hero. Disingenuous fucktards.

As for the pics on the packs....Can't wait to collect all of them! Right now, i only smoke the ones with the low birth weight warning on them....otherwise they can give you cancer if you buy the wrong ones.

ROFL thats awesome.

I think if it convinces more kids to stop/ not pick it up its worth it. And will "Millions of dollars" really be such a big cost to the tobacco industry?

Does it really matter if a couple million bucks is a big deal to the tobacco companies? The point is government jumps all over tobacco companies while plenty of other bad items are allowed to prosper without interference. People dont need reminders on the package of cigarettes that they are bad you. You want to put pics like that up use a billboard because the guy buying the pack doesnt give a shit.
