Cigarette in NJ are ridiculous! About $8.00 a pack, even more in NYC. A carton here in NJ is about $80.00 or so, depending where you buy it.

Absolutely! That's why I quit. And for the first few months, I was taking my cigarette money and putting it in a jar. Now it's paying for some of our trip and my gambling money. I don't know how people in this area can still afford it!

Are you kidding me!!!!! $8 is expensive?????

I'm somewhat of a social smoker (I can go days without a cigarette) although i plan to kick the habit altogether by the time i'm 30, (Which is in 8 months time) Just to give you some idea here in AUstralia with taxes we now pay $14 a pack, or $12 US approx

If i decide to buy a pack in Aruba sounds like it'll be really cheap for me!!

Bring on May 14!!!!
