I'm doing it. I have officially finished my last pack of cigarettes (though I will smoke one when offered). I will only use what is given to me.

I will also protest by smoking mad herb instead. :thumbsup:

Who thinks the rise is bullshit?

I'm only saying this because you really don't know:

Part of the reason for the massive taxes on smoking is to keep kids from smoking.

I would complain to you about not letting him go on for longer, but I don't think he will realize even after this.


You kids will protest anything as long as it requires no effort.

Eh, didn't we get enough joy out of this thread already? He's gonna stick it to the tobacco companies by not smoking!

Man, cigs are around $6.50 a pack now. Definately time to finally quit. Not out of protest or anything. It's just that when your tobacco bill equals your utilities bill(s), it's time.

And jammer, it's really hard to become a casual smoker once you've been a regular smoker.

i like Mill's argument with regards to this in On Liberty

If you have to raise the taxes somewhere, then luxuries and goods that are proven to do harm are the best places to do so.
