Default What else can I do with $8.50

A box of cigarettes costs me eight dollars and freaking fifty cents now. I could quit I guess, my teeth are brown enough; my sense of smell might come back but like Bill Hicks said "What is that honey, urine? It's a dead guy!"

depends how many packs of cigarettes you smoke.

let's say you smoke two packs a week which would make it 19 bucks a week you spend. 4 x19 = 76 bucks a month on smokes. 76 x 12 months a year = 912 bucks a year on cigarettes. That's a sizeable amount of savings per year you can better spend on gear or rent or go through gas gouges we're experiencing right now.

Thumbs up

I'm still smoking, but finding cheaper solutions than paying the five something dollars on each pack of cigs for chicago tax. Class J which is rolling tobacco does not have hardly any tax at all. $4-$5 for the good S*&t, and $1.65 for something that'll get you by. Its somewhat of a solution.

.....or you can do yourself a favor and quit (i know, i know; easier said than done). you will end up spending less on medical bills. besides, you are paying someone $8.50 for someone TO POISION YOU!
