    Marlboros here in MA I think are around $12-$13 a pack.

    The really amazing thing is that most the people who smoke, by most measures, really can’t afford it, but somehow manage to squeeze it into their budget. People who can afford it…quit smoking years ago.

      Oh no, I certainly cannot afford 13 dollars a day. That’s 130 bucks in 10 days. No way could I possibly fit that into my budget, back when they were 5 dollars a pack, it felt like highway robbery, this… would be out of the question.
