Hey New Yokers, time to switch? New York Plans $1.60 Per Pack Increase in Cigarette Tax

this is what I heard this morning on news.
New York plans a $1.60 increase per pack in the cigarette tax, making it the nation’s highest, as well a long-delayed plan to crack down on the sale of cigarettes by tribes to non-Indians, according to a bill Gov. David Paterson’s administration announced late Friday.

The plan also includes raising the tax on chewing tobacco, cigars, pipe tobacco and other tobacco products. The tax would increase to 75 percent of the wholesale price of those products, from 46 percent now.

New York state Budget Director Robert Megna said specifics are still being negotiated with legislative leaders and tribes in New York, but higher tobacco taxes will be part of an emergency spending bill Monday.

New York state’s current cigarette tax is $2.75 a pack. A $4.35-per pack tax would surpass even Rhode Island’s tax of $3.46 per pack and $3 per pack in the state of Washington, according to the American Cancer Society.

That means, if cigarette price goes probably over $10 a pack.
if you are smoking pack a day, 30days, comes at least $200.00 per month for just 30 packs of cigarette!!!
now it’s just crazy price to pay for…..

so how about switching to blu electronic cigarette?
I’ve been saving bunch of money by switching to blu. (well it does sounds like some commercial, but it’s true)

think about it. not even week worse of cigarette, you pay for the full starter kit (which is $59.99 with everything you need)
that will automatically saves you at least 200-250 per month.
hey here is saving here too.
since economy is still not great and everyone suffering. I’ll think you want to save every penny as you can. and yes it’s better just quit smoking. but sometime yeah occasionally wants to smoke, or still want to enjoy without nicotine on and off, this is way to go.

I recommend blu because so many people came to this site and purchased, they are all happy with products, and blu’s excellent support. and most of all, value of starter pack is incredible. best in the market. so check out and try blu ecig.
