Thank You for Smoking

[Dys]

It's more than twice that for a pack of smokes where I come from.
I don't care either way, scotch is my poisen and tastes a crapload better than cigarettes.

your moaning about 6 dollars!? thats what, about 4 quid or something, and I guess this is for a pack of 20? thats cheap! try about £5.50 in the UK! so nearly 10 dollars or something around that figure! Plus we get pictures like Canada do on their smokes! except ours are very Bristish so no messed up lungs, just a picture of a bendy cigarette saying "smoking causes impotence"

5.5 British pounds = 8.1136 U.S. dollars - so says magical google.

About right for my area, West Coast of the States.

We ***** about $2 dollar gallons of gasoline here, as well.
So, £1.34 for 3.79 liters? What do you guys pay for that?

A little more than double that down under, was a lot worse a few months ago (About $1 a L now, or ~50P, but for ages it was like $1.40 ~80P

weee double post. Don't know why I had to seperate posts going in tabs in one topic :S

Yeah, in the UK for the last 2 years its been over £1 a litre, at one point it hit about £1.30 petrol, £1.80 diesel. Recently it's been dropping down to around 0.85p ish. But even still, we always pay more than the US no matter what it tends to be, and usually a hell of a lot more

The newest law they are attempting to pass is no smoking in your vehicle with children in said vehicle.

I know i'm taking you out of context here so bare with me. I don't see whats wrong with this law. Second hand smoke isnt very good for children and watching their parents smoke will probably make them more likely to smoke themselves(no sexual references intended) also it's really not safe to drive and smoke, not only do you not have two hands on the wheel but, everytime you exhale smoke, your temporarily blinded. not to mention it's a distraction.

*SNIP*

Now that I come to think about it, if I'm not mistaken, it's actually illegal to smoke and drive here in the U.S I don't if it was passed yet, but i think it has. As you said though, other people arn't as good drivers as you and some lack good judgement( example of bad judgement: well the roads are slick with snow...lets light up while driving!) I see this sort of bad driving and judgement alot in new jersey. I'm guessing they have better drivers in europe because if not how could you have the autobahn. I think this law is appropiate in the states because of the lack of driving skills, but in Europe, I don't know maybe you guys can ahndle smoking and driving.

I have not heard of any law of that nature in the United States and would be astonished if it were passed, although since I am not a smoker myself it would not bother me. Some people are indeed better multi-taskers however I will never agree with idiots who attempt to text message while driving. There is multi-tasking (drinking and driving (non-alcoholic beverages), fiddling with the stereo and etc.) yet certain things such as the aforementioned are pushing the limits.

Also mate, I am Canadian just to note which is why it would surprise me if this law existed. Glad I never took up smoking for yet another reason to say the least.

$6 for a pack? Try £5.50-6.00 in the UK.

...and don't even get me started on how Americans moan about petrol prices.
