As a smoker, the increased of cigarette price yearly is really hurting my pocket. Now, it stand at (P100) $2 or more in every pack. Looking back two to three years ago it is only (P50) $1 per pack. If the government really hates cigarettes because it is not good for everybody then why not closed the cigarette factory?

That is done my friend so smokers can be cancer-free. the government is spending 1.3 billion every year for the medicine alone for sicknesses caused through smoking and drinking hard liquor. My friends quit smoking. So many of my friends left the planet at their young ages due to prostate C and lung CMy seaman brother-in-law quit smoking when he was sick of hepatitis B. Doctor said he was lucky for if it was Hepa C or D, he will never be cured. It was 10 years ago he quit smoking and drinking hard liquor. Just sharing my friend.
