Recently I was paying just $7 for my pack of Newports in New York state. As if that wasnt high enough, the a******* in office raised the already outrageous tax of $2.75 and raised it to $4.35. (a $1.60 cent increase in TAX for each pack).

How come the price of cigarettes is now $11.50 at the cheapest store for cigarettes when that same store charged %7? The tax hike shouldve only pushed the price to %8.60 but theres NOTHING UNDER 10 DOLLARS even for the CHEAPEST pack anyone in my area!!! This is outrageous!

A month ago I drove to Florida from New York and the prices there are only $4 to $5 for the SAME THING that cost me $11.50 here? What lucky bastards.

How come the price suddenly jumped almost 5 dollars when the tax hike was only 1 dollar and 60 cents? I cant afford this shit anymore and want my Newports! Now I gotta take out money that wouldve bought other things just so I can enjoy my cigarettes. I dont care if might kill me or not, thats irrelevant. Im worse off and pissed!!! What will the Government do tax to make me even poorer? Raise the gas tax? Raise the tax on my beer or soda or junk food?

What has NY and their out of control taxes doing to help anyone? Especially when they tax poor people like this? I see no difference or improvements in anything in any of the things taxes pay for.

All I know is im poorer now thanks to Bloomberg and Cuomo!! I hope somebody drops a nuclear bomb on them.
