Thread: Dang - Cigarettes jumped from $3.75 to $7.42 a pack in one day.

Please no talking about how bad cigarettes are for you, etc...

They doubled the price in one day. Has this happened to anyone else? Surely it's not just my area. I live in Alabama by the way.

Why in the world did this happen?! Is this Obama's doing?

Here's something funny:
When I was at the counter asking for cigarettes, the cashier said you don't want those for that price. I said, "yeah I do, two packs marlboro reds please". She pointed to the price tag that said $7.42. I was like "holy crap! is this some sort of joke?" Some old guy behind me in line said, "I'm gonna start smoking dope now, it's cheaper hahaha". I was lmfao.

PS. Please excuse any grammatical or spelling errors, I'm under the influence of my sleeping medication and it makes me kinda loopy.

EDIT: Oh I can see it now. Gas stations are going to get robbed a lot now. I'll be walking down the street and hear: "I got the cartons! $50 per carton great deal!" They'd sell like hotcakes.
