                In california it's the air pollution from China... lol or just the air pollution... 
                 
                China has more coal burning facilities than any other country and they are building more. Some of the stuff I've seen people endure over there is amazing. the homes are covered in black soot from the air pollution, inside and out. You've seen the people wearing dust masks on bicycles, wait til they all get cars.... not too good.

                butter.. krupa was just referencing the current $1 per pack additional tax the state of Texas levies on us. congress of the United States are trying to add an additional 61ยข to current taxes on top of that. none on cigars though..

                Actually it will be 156% tax on prerolled cigarettes and oral tobaccos....not cigars or unrolled tobbaco. 
                 
                If the gov't needs more money....tax tithes......see how that goes over with the moral majority. 
                 
                It would be like taking a shit in a punch bowl......

                they are trying krupa... the churches, or some of them, are so large the politicians are getting nervous of them wielding power from the pulpits. I do not like the large churches, and the smaller ones? the do-gooders think they are holier than thou. 
                 
                try that 156% tax on something another minority uses. smokers, as it is, are a minority, and we get dumped on by everyone. wonder why it isnt on booze yet? ted kennedy would take grandpa's business, revive it, and start bootlegging again. 
                 
                chewing gum? sodas?

                That is because prohibition lasted 13 years and proved that it didn't work.

                George Burns lived to be 100 smoking cigars. Jim Fix the runner died in his 30s and didn't smoke. When it's your time, it's your time.

                Just over $40 a carton now in Iowa, at Tobacco Outlets. You can buy filters, loose leaf & rollers, for rolling your own and that's an option I'm giving some serious thought to.
