I use an e-cig, it's great. I get the nicotine (in whichever strength I want) with no tars or other crap. And in whatever flavor I want.

I know I would. But I dont have a job and literally have no money. So I am not smoking because I cant more than want. LOL..
Might as well take advantage of it. But it is really hard.
I crave cigs alot. With drugs. The cravings dont strt for me until a month or more after stopping. And they go faster. Cigs are so much more addictive IMO.

These taxes are going to force A LOT of people to quit (me included, been procrastinating, no more). Think so many quitting at once, due to cost, and with the economy sucking, just think of the STRESS, the whole world could become CRAZY!

Yup, Ohio went up too. It totally sucks big time. I quit last week, but after being really grumpy and having some bad dreams about smoking crack, I bought a pack today. Not proud of it, but I haven't had those dreams in a while and I didn't like them one bit. Ugh. Almost 60 days here. Technically tomorrow, but I pick up the key tag on the 4th. I am ready to FINALLY get that one. LOL. And be 99.9% drug free (I do count the cigs as a drug). I wanted to be ready to quit, but I am guessing my mind is not ready yet.. Good luck to you, though. I hope you can do it. Maybe it will inspire me to try again in a month or so...

I buy tobacco by the bag...big bag that is. So wow it did go up...but not too bad for me as I roll my own at about 5 cents a smoke now...was about 3 cents a smoke before the tax. Yet already I was offered some black market brand label smokes from the local gang. Yea I can see where this is going in my neighborhood. Greater health care for the masses and for guns and drugs for the local hommies. Geeze.
