Hey, you got an extra smoke by any chance..?
Depending where you are in NYC, cigarettes can be cheaper than some other places, but the one thing that doesn't change is that you are throwing down a minimum of $8.xx for a pack.
That being said, just how generous are you when it comes to helping out a fellow smoker? Also do you as a smoker (who, chances are started smoking before they were 18) buy cigarettes or any other type of tobacco products for minors even when they beg?

None of my friends hand them out.. especially considering how often the question is asked, or how rudely it's sometimes phrased.

panhandlers always look at me as if I'm lying when I truthfully reply, "I don't smoke."

I started buying filter tubes and drums of tobacco. Use the little handy $10 machine to fill them. Now I don't wanna give them out because of the 2 minutes it took me to make them... haha.
I really enjoy smoking when I'm drinking or after a long day of work. When I'm not drinking, it's just an addiction and I wish I could quit.

Ever since Marlboro Smooth came out with their buy one get one free promo (which is extinct now), i have ALWAYS hunted for deals. I refuse to pay full price. I will get into my company car in the mornings and drive for nearly an hour hitting every single Duane Reade on my route looking for a buy one get one free, or a $3 OFF pack. The $3 OFF pack used to be on the Marlboro smooths, but now appear on just the Marlboro Menthol. I used to buy 5 buy one get one frees at a time and sometimes used to buy them out completely. Now im lucky if i find a spot that has at least one left.

I actually know somewhere to get extremely good deals online, but advertising is illegal on these boards. -_-

from a strictly financial point of view, doesn't driving around to save $3.00 cost more than amount saved in these days of high gas prices? |
