But feel thankful you aren't paying what smokers are. That 72/month
would be more like 400/month. I haven't even talked about alcohol
prices here. A friend just came back from Nevada. A 1/2 gallon of
whiskey cost him about $11. Here it's double that, depending on the
brand. Then it's triple. I don't know how that works, but it does.
Thank God I don't like whiskey.
An afterthought here. We only sell alcohol in state owned stores
here. I'm surprised we haven't started doing this with tobacco.
Cigarettes are big business. Is our state government asleep at the
wheel?

They already do.
That is why a 39.95 a month plan ends up costing 50.00 a month.
That is why my 60.00 am month landline phone bill cost 72.00 a month.
It is mainly taxes and fees.

Dang, that's cheap! Here in Yakima Wa. it's about triple
that. But a
3500 square foot home costs about 300K. I guess it all works its way
out in the end. And they are thinking about raising the cigarette tax
again here in Washington. A pack already costs about 5.50. I truly
can't see how people can afford to smoke. You'd think they'd be
raising taxes on things everyone's doing, not just the select few.
It's not election year here, so why not a breathing tax? Actually
though, I'm surprised they haven't made a cell phone usage tax. Teens
could actually start paying for their own high schools.
