from your site -

MARLBORO LIGHT BOX 100
Made in USA
Price $ 51.09
That isn't any cheaper is it? I quit smokin awhile ago, but was curious.
Whats a carton go for locally anyway?

Shawnee123 · 08-28-2009, 08:17 AM

I'm not sure, but I think I've been paying 56-58 bucks a carton. Not much cheaper, if at all, than individual packs.

I'm in denial of the cost. I just pay what they tell me to, as I don't see quitting in the foreseeable future.

Now I need a cigarette.

I didn't know they had gotten so expensive! I quit a while back, too, but I use to smoke the generics (Smoke 1 menthols you get at Diamond Shamrock.) Those were somewhere around 23.00 a carton.

classicman · 08-28-2009, 08:28 AM

I think there was shipping involved too. so that makes it about even. Either way, I don't think its worth waiting 3 weeks for delivery. But hey - thats just me.

Over the past 30+ years I've smoked Marlboro's, Kool's, Salem's, Virginia Slims, Benson & Hedges, True, Winston... that's about it I think.

Took me 30 years to feel like shit. Couldn't breathe, couldn't fuck, couldn't laugh without coughing - I was miserable. Finally decided to get off the tobacco gravy train and try to live a life that I wanted to live. So last December (2008), on a whim, I saw my doctor and got a script of Chantix. I smoked the first week while taking it and then stopped completely.

Truth be told, I wanted to quit anyway. The Chantix was a great help because I had little to no "physical" withdrawl. I did want a smoke but I knew that I just didn't "need" one. Those feelings passed after a few minutes.

It's been what? Nine months from the first weekend of December 2008 when I quit. It's great! I'm back into a hobby I haven't done for 20+ years - hiking. I can breath and um... yes, that too.

My wife still smokes, but I don't pressure her. I understand the addiction to smoking and the actual "enjoyment" of it. I was there and I did like to smoke. I do miss it, but I like feeling better more.

I don't harrass smokers, but if you ever decide to quit and need some encouragement... I'm your man.

That's awesome, Madman. What a great story! I wish I had known you quit back in spring. I was struggling with it, then. But I am so glad to be done with it, too. I don't even cheat and have one once in a while anymore. I just don't miss it.

I live in the US - I was looking at the US prices ($51.09) not the EU ($16.90)

Ohh wait - Do they post the US & EU prices, yet you actually only pay the EU?

Madman · 08-28-2009, 09:18 AM

That's great too Case. I've tried to quit in the past, but never did. I know it's because I really didn't want to anyway. It's a tough habit to quit, but people can quit.

I still have to buy smokes for my wife. She smokes those long skinny things... Capri. $50+ bucks a carton. Shits expensive. When I was in the military I used to buy an entire carton of Basic Menthols for just over $3 bucks a carton. Now those are probably up to $50 bucks a carton too.

Now I take the money I used to spend on my smokes and take my wife to dinner.
