My Response to the Tobacco Tax Increase
I used to roll my own on the cheap. My smoking costs went from about $15 every two weeks to about $60 every two weeks. Yes, it is an item in my financial budget right next to AEP.
A buddy of mine gave me some tobacco seeds he got from an “old indian feller o’er yonder”. Said it smoked like Marlboro.
So, I took some and started them in little styrofoam cups.
In about a week, these sprouts will be large enough to transplant outside in my large planters. Then I will transfer them to a larger, tilled area. I hear they get very large and have beautiful flowers.
I’ll keep you guys updated all the way until I roll my first one in celebration of not paying taxes on tobacco.
In the mean time… bite me federal government. Raise my taxes on a consumer good? Guess what, I’ll just make it myself and you will get nothing now. It is my choice to smoke. I like to smoke. Smoking is bad for me, yes. It is my choice. Not yours.
