Brenda,
 
That is a ton of dollars!  So when we all quit the gov will have to find other taxing bodies rather than we, the helpless.

When I quit some years ago, I had last paid $7.70 a  pack at QFC stores, now it is $9; however they may be had for $7 or so at other locations, I don't folllow it anymore.  Those that smoke are sickly, and there is only one way around it non more than sticking to it.  Best now to do it.

Hokey Smokes, Bullwinkle!!!
 
       If we all lived in Washington State,  we'd really be saving a bundle of cash!!!  That's one reason that when I smoked, I would mail order my smokes from an Indian smoke shop in Arizona... no tax and $3.50 a pack, shipping included!
 
       Maybe I need to update my quit meter with your taxes added in, Stickin'!!!   Maybe I could justify a scuba vacation reward sooner! 

       Thanks once again for sharing some good food for thought!

Well... it's a good thing you quit smoking or you'd be paying those insanely high taxes, right??

The latest sin taxes in Washington state, $9.00 a pack; a huge impact.
