| booger User Info... | the price of smokes is fucking hideous too.. something that is actually worth 50 cents costs 7 dollars.. - Tue, 27 Jan 2004 9:41pm | ||
| ticklefish User Info... | ummm...cigarette taxes are there because even though smokes only "cost" 50cents, when you get 4 times as many colds/flus as non smokers, develop emphysema, cancer, heart disease etc. you drain the public health care system, and I for one have no intention of subsidizing your habit. - Wed, 28 Jan 2004 10:16am | ||
| _Griphin_ User Info... | Actually, the cheapest place to buy smokes in Victoria is a dollar store on Quadra street, right across the street from The Brick. Total cost $7.90 - Wed, 28 Jan 2004 10:54am | ||
| jackass User Info... | ticklefish...I agree with you completely, but somehow I doubt that extra revenue is going anywhere near the medical system. Maybe I'm just jaded? - Wed, 28 Jan 2004 11:19am | ||
| Shaggy User Info... | But it's ok for your tax dollars to go towards junkies getting their 'juice' right Ticklefish? - Wed, 28 Jan 2004 11:23am | ||
| _Griphin_ User Info... | Someone addicted to an opiate needs help, plain and simple. But it seems people would like to ignore or sweep the problem under the red carpet then deal with a solution. I think the reason tobacco is so expensive in this province is because of the supply and demand principle. Apparently BC has the lowest number of smokers then anywhere in Canada (fergot the figures ATM). ...cancer, cancer, put 'em in the microwave, that's the fuckin' answer! - Wed, 28 Jan 2004 12:25pm | ||
| Shaggy User Info... | Someone addicted to anyhting got that way due to personal choice Griph. Why should society as a whole be responsible because someone makes the wrong personal choices? It's about fucking time people start being responsible for their own choices instead of using them as a fucking crutch. You've got a problem caused by your own stupidity? Clean the problem up yourself, you are the one that caused the problem in the 1st place, not society. - Wed, 28 Jan 2004 4:25pm | ||

| METALNECK User Info... | If it is legal to buy smokes according to the canadian government then the canadian government can deal with the conciquences. You dont want smokers, mail your MLA. Other than that, well just quit like the rest of us or pay the $10. - Wed, 28 Jan 2004 9:31pm | ||
