Smoking Up (exactly $1.25)

By Joshua Errett

Looks like we picked the right 3-year period to quit smoking cigarettes. The province will raise the price of butts or darts or whatever they call it for the fourth time since 2003. The price increase, at an extra $1.25 per carton and an estimated 16 cents per pack, matches the last time the price of cancer-sticks went up.
All of this is good news for potential Liberal leadership candidate Bob Rae (pictured in previous post), because if he smoked cigarettes, he might start to look like the smoking man (pictured in this post).
