Fire Safe Cigarettes!

Yesterday I got up to face new taxes on my cigarettes! I sat down and figured it out $3.035 excise tax plus 8% sales tax in Washington State on each pack! That is premium price! But that is not all! These premium cigarettes are now state mandated Fire Safe cigarettes!
I had noticed something was wrong a few packs back! These new cigarettes don’t stay lit! If you pause in your smoking they go out! And to make matters worse they taste horrible!
I was able to find out Indian reservations can still sell regular cigarettes and they are now imposing their own tax and are legal to buy and consume. So all you store owners in Washington I won’t be back! Your cigarettes taste terrible I will be shopping at the Indian reservation.

I managed to quit after nearly 30 years
Thinking about who I was giving my money to every time I lit up finally got me to do it. It has been many years since I last gave any money to the insanity known as "the tobacco industry."
Truth exists, and it deserves to be cherished.
I don't smoke, but my
I don't smoke, but my grandmother was telling me about the fire safe cigarettes. She basically said that they are a pain in the *** because sometimes you have to relight them, but other than that she said they are just the same.
