People shipping cartons of cigarettes to NY is big business.

Risky too. If they don't have the proper stamps, you can get in a tad bit of trouble.

I was kidding. I already get my cigs from Missouri actually. I've got a brother and a few friends in St Louis so they just send me a few cartons when I need them. I actually took the mega bus down just for cigs once ended up winning 500 at the casino in east St Louis.

East St Louis is the best St Louis.

It's over $10 for a pack of cigarettes here. I don't know how people can afford to smoke in this city.

Sort of like how North Korea is best Korea?
Exactly except it's better since there is less propaganda and the ratio of strip clubs casinos and tattoo parlors to citizen is much higher.

When I used to smoke I would order cartons from North Carolina. My stepdad is a vet, so he would get huge discounts on booze and cigarettes. $10 liters of vodka, $30 cartons of marbs. I don't smoke anymore though. I don't really care about the long term health effects much, but, I value my lung capacity and jog often, so eventually I just got tired of it and dropped it. All the coughing up mucus and the fact that smoking is a dirty habit and left ashes all over was irritating too. I enjoyed the habit but in the end I found the negatives to piss me off too much. (Also, quitting smoking isn't hard at all. It's just a matter of whether or not you actually want to.)

I wouldn't say that at all. The first week or so is absolutely hellish, and other symptoms such as depression can go on for around two weeks. That's not a gigantic time frame, but it's long enough to be quite daunting while you're in the process of quitting.
