Any smokers present? Might want to rethink buying a pack from your loval servo.

A man in the United States popped out to his local petrol station to buy a pack of cigarettes - only to find his card charged $23,148,855,308,184,500.

I like free cigs, I won't ever pay, unless I get addicted.

...Interesting article, the question is what BRAND of cigarettes did he buy?! I recently tried the Marlboro menthol 54's (they're okay).. They come in a cool looking flip-top box though!:lol:

You can get throat-cancer without smoking too, cancer's no different than Russian roulette with one bullet

It simply can happen

Indeedy, but smoking increases the chances like a million times over, costs you money AND effects those around the smoker, all around jackassery at it's finest!

True, part of the reason I don't smoke, I don't see what folks like about the stuff

My grandfather died of throat cancer. In the day of his birthday, every year I get furious for the fact that it was his fault that he died. He smoked a lot and refused to see a doctor. Don't make the same mistakes.

This "please don't smoke, u r polluting the air, this could cause cancer etc etc etc" is the most BS EVER ...

Most of us have cars too ... Cars are major polluters, to name one example.

Carbon monoxide also kills.

It's called "second hand smoking" and it's real, jackass. And it's already bad enough that cars release crap, we really don't need chain smoking assholes like France, Japan, and Spain giving second hand smoke to innocent bystanders.

Carbon monoxide kills in large amounts with little ventilation.

I don't say that I didn't know that ... I have 3 smokers in my family ... But we poison ourselves and others every day in various ways ... But we don't talk about it ...

The shit about cigars is that they stinks ...

And afterall anti-tabagism is a fashion nowadays.

Here’s how to say it: 23 quadrillion,148 trillion, 855 billion, 308 million, 184,000, 500 dollars.
It's more than 2,000 times the national debt -- and, according to Jon Seale (http://www.nbcdfw.com/topics?topic=Jon+Seale)'s online credit card statement, it’s what he spent July 13 at Five Sixty by Wolfgang Puck (http://www.nbcdfw.com/topics?topic=Wolfgang+Puck).

Exact same thing, except at a restaurant this time

That price isn't that far off from the retail price in Manhattan. I pay far too much on health care not to be reserved the incentive to put it to use. I smoke Newports too, so i'll be ready to take full advantage of my health care soon. I also smoke prodigious amounts of weed and I also enjoy a fine cigar.^_^
