Tormod Posted May 22, 2007 Report Posted May 22, 2007 Wrong place. This is a science forum, not a marketplace for tobacco.
jackson33 Posted May 22, 2007 Report Posted May 22, 2007 I am looking for the best place to buy cigarettes. I live in Iowa and sale cigarette in bulk. I also like to know if online cigarette sale is legal. Please let me if you have any information. google *cheap cigarettes*, where you'll find some sites. the selling of a legal product over the net is then legal. you pay the federal tax on the product in your purchase price and if you choose, there are ways to pay the state taxes. keep in mind if Iowa has a sales tax, you are liable to pay this tax on any on line purchase. if you lived in North Carolina, you would not save any money, as the state taxes are very low to begin with... am responding since this to me seems a fair question and the first post by an author. certainly not an advertisment...
Tormod Posted May 22, 2007 Report Posted May 22, 2007 am responding since this to me seems a fair question and the first post by an author. certainly not an advertisment... Well, introducing oneself on a science forum with an "I sell cigarettes online" message is maybe not an ad, but certainly odd. Plus it has nothing to do with science, nor with technology.
jackson33 Posted May 22, 2007 Report Posted May 22, 2007 "looking for best place to buy?" is not selling. the second sentence makes no sense and then a desire to know the legality. was kind of hoping would lead into tax difference from state to state....it is a social issue which i am interested in...and why i responded.

jackson33 Posted May 27, 2007 Report Posted May 27, 2007 MA; while i do not advocate smoking or the use of tobacco products, there are a couple things needed to be said... life expectancy in the US went from 48 in 1900, to 71 in 1979, up 23 years on average through the greatest increases in use of the products. since the decline in 1990 to 2004 its gone from 73 to 75. the figures you see on death cause, by tobacco come from all age groups at death and given cause if EVER have smoked. your eventual death cause is going to be smoking related, even if your 105. (infoplease.com) YOUR TAXES; look at it from the New Jersey smoker. each carton gets taxed 26.00 by the state, 4.00 by the fed. of the remaining 35.00 or 65.00 total, only 2.00 per is product related. US tobacco giants pay out about 25.00 per carton in so called fines to the states. that about 55.00 per carton in taxes alone and the average smoker smokes about 75 cartons per year. this 4,000 plus cost in taxes alone cares little how much a person makes. to complicate this if the person is in a high tax bracket, he/she pays additional taxes on that 4k of 2k, since those original taxes are not deductible.
CraigD Posted June 7, 2007 Report Posted June 7, 2007 to complicate this if the person is in a high tax bracket, he/she pays additional taxes on that 4k of 2k, since those original taxes are not deductible.Are any state of federal taxes on goods sold deductible against ones state or federal income tax?
Michaelangelica Posted June 7, 2007 Report Posted June 7, 2007 yep,Death and Taxes; cigarettes have both.
jackson33 Posted June 7, 2007 Report Posted June 7, 2007 Are any state of federal taxes on goods sold deductible against ones state or federal income tax? this would require a very complicated answer, but in short; we have 50 states, each with a system ranging from NO state income tax (Fl. TX. and others) to very high taxes such as NY and Cal...in general however state taxes where they exist are based on what is due the Fed. where i live its 5% of that total. the only add on deductions i am aware of are for service to country, old age and things unrelated to purchases. state taxes for the previous year are deductible on the fed long form.. any sales taxes paid with in any state, are no longer deductible unless the product which drew them is a deductible item. for instance the purchase of health care equipment etc, for an individual. in general business entities pay no sales taxes (fed tax exempt certificate) however they could deduct if the purpose was for business and paid. years ago, Cigarette taxes were deductible along with many items deemed excessive, on the fed forms. this practice has long been dropped.
Queso Posted June 7, 2007 Report Posted June 7, 2007 Friendly fact:people pay like 9$ for a pack of cigarettes in NYC (those idiots)
jackson33 Posted June 7, 2007 Report Posted June 7, 2007 Friendly fact:people pay like 9$ for a pack of cigarettes in NYC (those idiots) the cost to produce that 9.00 pack is about .25 cents, which is currently a legal product. in my mind this is one of those socially motivated programs, which government has chosen for redistribution of money. the problem here however is they are taking from the poor (as a rule). additionally i will always question just how bad the product is. its surely a dirty habit and has social liabilities, but should not be this way to the extent it is....

Come on Jackson; let's just call a spade a spade & spam, spam. Back off-topic, does anyone grow their own tobacco? Can we? Should we? Inquiring minds want to know. :) :)
Queso Posted June 7, 2007 Report Posted June 7, 2007 Grow some. Mix it with molasses//honey and natural flavors (mint + vanilla are good) put it in a hookah bowl with tin foil over it, poke holes in it, put a coal on the bowl and you got yourself a nice smoke Hookah - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Tormod Posted June 7, 2007 Report Posted June 7, 2007 Okay, that's enough for an introduction thread. Since the original poster has been banned due to spamming in other threads, I am closing this one too.
