Even though the $1 tax increase of a pak of cigarettes is due to start on April 1, the price has already increased as of a couple of weeks ago. In my neighborhood Exxon station, a pak was over $7. What effect will these ever-increasing prices have on your decision to either stop or continue smoking?

I'm going to quit. Times being what they are and knowing I could lose my job any day now, coupled with a long-time desire to quit, I think the anti just got upped to the point where the tradeoff is no longer acceptable for me.

What do you guys think: yea or nay?
