AKA Posted February 26, 2010 Share Posted February 26, 2010 Tobacco tax - If that thing gets any momentum I wont be able to afford shisha and will have to quit. This is a serious question. Should I just quit while Im ahead to spare myself the pain? Essentially Iv lost all hope, the deficit is their good excuse for taxing us up the wooha. Opinions, comments, hope?

Travis Posted February 26, 2010 Share Posted February 26, 2010 STOCK UP! I always do that, i only order like every 3 or 4 months unless i see something new. I have a savings account in my shoebox for hookah purposes, when it grows enough i stock up, 150 - 200 bucks an order. Ive got stuff lying around that i havent even opened yet because of this. I know that much money on an order seems like alot but save up and buy in bulk, you save on money in the long run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

no longer welcome Posted February 27, 2010 Share Posted February 27, 2010 NEVER QUIT! We shall go on to the end. We shall fight in France, We shall fight on the seas and oceans, We shall fight with GROWING confidence and GROWING strength in the air. We shall defend our island whatever the cost may be. We shall fight on beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, We shall fight in the fields and in the streets. We shall fight in the hills, We shall never surrender. I know that might amuse you UK guys but for us yanks we know this speech based on this, well, us older guys at least: [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GghCs_C65v0"]http://www.youtube.c...h?v=GghCs_C65v0[/url] ok, maybe i'm only amusing myself, but whose for a thread segway into some maiden?

[/quote] Iv had some bad experiences with quick light hookah coals. Thinking about getting cocos. If I use quick lights it EFFs up my lungs, and seriously impacts my experience. Is it the coals or is that the nature of the smoke? Iv had good experiences though. Iv always put the coals on right after they stop sparking. Not ashy yet. Is this why? Also good point they have all their attention on health care right now. Keep em occupied I quess. Edited February 27, 2010 by AKA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whats a KM? Posted February 27, 2010 Share Posted February 27, 2010 honestly its a matter of personal preference. think of the benefits you gain from smoking be it social, relaxing, what ever. now consider what you give up for smoking. if you gain more from smoking then what your giving up then keep at it see what happens. if not you should just give it up and move on with your life.

Scott Posted February 27, 2010 Share Posted February 27, 2010 If the tax was to go up, it would just have to turn into something that isn't everyday. It would be like, alright, I bought a 250 gram box, and I have to make it last. That's how I look at it atleast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact that Id be supporting the tax by paying for it cannot happen. Edited February 28, 2010 by AKA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
