If you want cheap smokes buy the bootleg stuff.....many in Alaska do. I quit 10 years ago...you could always take that route.

I loved to smoke when I was young.

The nation thanks you for providing healthcare for the children.

Is that a shrimp or a mud bug mounted on that wench?

It's a shrimp. But what it represents is Jim Doyle. The fair lady is the state of Wisconsin.

It's just not as funny when you have to explain it.

You can grow your own tobacco. Already being done.

Hmmm. I wonder if you could sell it at a farmers market.

It is legal to grow your own, it is illegal to sell it. If you sell or trade it..then the FDA must be involved. But, hey...for a guy already breaking the law with 5 wives, no biggie, plus having them out in the fields would keep them svelte...if that is your thing. Just tell'em it is god's work!!

Tobacco seeds are like 9 beans. Seedman.org. They have quintupled there sales from 07. they are a bit tricky to grow...as they are practically microscopic and you have to start them indoors and then move them outdoors after frost. Also you gotta then pay attention to the normal problems of any plant...bugs, mold, fungus, etc.

After gowing comes curing.

Anyway, i think the #s work down to about 30 cents a pack if you grow it yourself.

Ty thought about it..and, the selling part as well. Gov catches you...i'm sure the punishment will be X, but i was also worried about what the IRS would do...you know, lying about income is the big no no.

It's unethical to grow your own tobacco. The government needs the tax revenue to provide healthcare to children. Please keep smoking government tobacco.

Hmmm, perhaps when I move to SC in a few weeks I should start bootlegging cigs to my WI smoking friends!

I'm at the 5 month mark now of quitting. I have this real-time calculator thing on my FB page and it's says I've saved about $1200 so far. I'll take that.
