Discounted Cigs

[Scoops]

Does anyone know a place in TV that sells name brand cigarettes at a discount? I lived in south Florida recently and find that cigs are about $10 more per carton here.

Save a lot of money..................just quit.

Why smoke cigarettes at all? People around you do not like the second-hand smoke, inhaling all that tar and nicotine shortens your life, and it is a very expensive vice.

[kaydee]

for those of us who smoke, we do so because we enjoy it. For those who choose to indulge in alcoholic beverages I assume one does so because of enjoyment and that also can be a very expensive vice.
The cheapest place that I have found in this area for cigarettes is the gas station at Walmart on 441.

I really enjoyed smoking or at least I thought so, as it turned out I was very very addicted, I smoked for 40 years or so.
I really understand your position having been there.
Today I have part of one lung and am on oxygen 24/7. I can only walk about 100 ft with a cane. My mother was so addicted she died with a cigarette in her hand and an oxygen tube in the other.

I know you have it in you to find a way to change your life , I did , it's been 5 years.
it was very hard for the first 3 months then it became much easier and then I had no more cravings.

Hugs to you. So glad you are here with us in this beautiful place.

I quit about ten years ago.

It is VERY hard to quit and I think it must get even harder the longer it goes on.

You have started my day with a good feeling, Gamby. The happiest of New Years to you and yours.

The OP asked where to buy cigs at a discount - not for a lecture. Once again people it's about personal choice not what we choose as individuals. And please no posts about second hand smoke!

Don't fuss at me this morning kiddo. I wasn't hurtin' nobody. ;) and I wasn't lecturing. Everybody knows what the choices entail.

I am in a bad mood anyhow. I am going to the dentist.

Gomoho is correct.... the OP asked where to buy cigarettes, not advice on if/how to quit smoking.

Please try to stay on topic. If you wish to discuss the issue of smoking, second hand smoke, etc, feel free to start a new thread.

My friend bought one of those machines that rolls your cigs. Got it at Ciggy's on 27 in Leesburg. You can also go in there and they will match your brand and roll them for you. It comes out to about $21. a carton.

There's a discount smoke shop in the small shopping center at Rolling Acres and RT441. It's right next to the Verizon store.

They had moderately cheaper prices, last time I was there.

If you know someone coming back from up north and driving through Kentucky, have them stop and get you a couple cartons. I think they have about the cheapest cigarettes in the country.

No lecture but.... I smoked cigarettes for more than 40 years and switched to e-cigarettes about 2 years ago. They're much cheaper than regular cigarettes and [for me], work great. If you'd like more information, just PM me.

Happy hunting....

It's not a choice When the tobacco Co's add chemicals to make them much more addictive .
Adding ammonia makes them 50 to 100 times more addictive depending which report you read.

When I was about 11 years old I lived in the projects ; Every week the tobacco station wagon (No name mentioned) would come around and offer free cigarettes to all us kids (Hundreds of kids) We would have gang fights over cigarettes..
When you begin smoking , usually in your teens it is a choice even though
at that age you are immature. Once addicted it's very hard to quit .
You think it's a choice when you smoke through a hole in your neck ?
So don't give me that bull about �ts'a choice".
This term was coined by the tobacco Co's to avoid law suites.


As far as � lecture I only thought I might offer some encouragement to stop
not to lecture.

Sorry if it was taken otherwise.

[jblum315]

Not just in the projects. During the "Mad Men" era,I was at Duke University in Durham, N.C., a tobacco town. There was always someone on campus handing out free cartons. And a carton was only $1.25 to begin with.

[redwitch]

I started on a plane from California to Philly when I was 14. You got a meal and a mini-pack was of 4 ciggies was included with each meal. By the time I got off the plane, I was hooked and have been ever since.

I buy my ciggies at either Walgreen's or CVS. Marlboros are $53.00 a carton at these two places. Cheapest I've found for cartons in TV itself. Don't even think of buying at the grocery stores or Wal-Mart. Way too expensive.

Also, check your brand online. There are many vendors selling Russian versions of your brand. Not bad but the taste will be slightly off. You can also get coupons at your brand's website.

If I remember right (and at my age that's iffy), on our last cruise ship vacation to the Caribbean, a carton of cigs ran under $30 in Cozumel. I don't recall pricing at the other ports, and I'm not sure how many cartons you can bring back state-side, but...Hey.....any excuse for a cruise, especially this time of year.:cold:

[Bonny]

We used to get cigarettes from Russia. When they advertise Marlboros, they really aren't. I was told they don't have to follow any trade mark laws. Same thing in the Caribbean. Just FYI. Some of them aren't bad for the price.

[kaydee]

last 2 cruises we took I bought pall mall for $15.50 per carton on the ship. Bought 6 carton on each cruise. Now that's a deal & a good excuse for booking a cruise :)

[travelguy]

take the money that you spend on cigarettes and put it towards a smoking cessation program.

[Bonny]

I'm sorry, but why do so many people want to turn this thread into a "save the smoker" thread ???

Bonny, I was wondering the same thing!

[jblum315]

I was wondering the same thing. If I asked which supermarket had the best and cheapest chocolate cake, would I get a lecture on how eating chocolate cake is bad for your health? Or if I complained about the price of gas for my car, would I be advised to buy a golf cart?

I think this is how trolls get started. It makes me want to start a thread "Where do I buy medical marijuana?" :girlneener:

ha,ha,ha.....berefoot that is a good one!!

[travelguy]

as a non smoker i do not have to be subjected to your second hand smoke...anywhere. yesterday at the craft fair there were several smokers...cigars also.....disgusting...i think that all smoking should be banned on public streets and sidewalks.

And I think all whinners, people with bad breath, BO, perfume, gas carts, dogs, cats, outdoor music, bad dancers, and loud shirts should be banned too. They offend me and it's disgusting, and I don't have to subjected to them. Where's the glorious ACLU when I need them? GET REAL

travelguy - i think if you are in the vicinity of a smoking area - you do have to be subjected to the possibility of second-hand smoke until you vacate the area or the drifting smoke. no?

[paulandjean]

"Medical Marijuana" Yeah right.

[Bonny]

Okay.... I think we are going to need that medical marijuana !!! :a20:

I agree!

[travelguy]

then I guess that we have too many 'designated' smoking areas. And from what I understand when you are spending the summer at the jersey shore you have a totally smoke free beach now.....must be nice! wish we had a totally smoke free community.

:pray:

[BritParrothead]

In England, you would be paying about $13 for a pack of 20!! I dont understand where the young kids get this money?????? :22yikes:

[goingtothevillages]

I found Sams club to be about the least expensive - also, we changed from premium brands to off brand (Pyramid, 305's, etc.) - yes, the 1st few weeks weren't that fun, but after that, I really like them and pay around $29 each.

FYI - the guy asked a simple question - is "preaching" part of old age - if so, we sure have a BUNCH of REALLY REALLY old nib-xxxxs on TOTV

[shcisamax]

I started smoking when a pack was $.50. I smoked on and off for many years, including camels no filter. When I lived in Europe, I smoked ridiculously strong cigarettes - Galoise. I tried to quit in my early 2o's and lost after a year. I tried a couple years later and lost more than a year in by thinking I could have a puff. I realized then I was really addicted. I never smoked again. About 10 years after I stopped, I was riding in a car with a business associate and we were en route to an airport. We were talking about how we used to smoke and as we were talking about it, we found ourselves thinking about getting a cigarette. It was amazing how just talking about it brought back the urge. Wow. What a shockaroo that was.
I feel badly for those who have been smoking so long, it is "in their DNA". It kind of is what it is. But everyone knows at this point what they are in for and the consequences so we shouldn't really be giving advice on how to live one's life. Everyone is all grown up now and makes their own decisions. I am just glad I have 30 years of smoke free behind me. I was aghast to hear how much they are now. It would definitely cut into my wine allowance. :)
