    Buying cigs by the carton is not just heavy smoking. That signals commitment to the downward spiral for the foreseeable future. Though, the two different brands of cigarette indicates she was buying for someone else as well. Parliaments were never for casuals.

        Where I live, it’s like a USD1.00 discount if you buy a carton vs however many packs are in a carton

            When I worked at a gas station it was practically the same, sometimes the carton would be more expensive than 10 packs because most smokes have a 2 for 1 deal tied to them. I can’t remember if it was corporate or big tobacco but one of them cracked down on it and changed the rules to where we would get in deep trouble if we sold a “loose carton”.

        I doubt the celebrity was concerned about that. Well for all I know she was headed to volunteer at a homeless shelter and wanted to bring gifts. Or not but it’s okay to imagine people a are good

          Economical. But also saves you extra trips. If you’re trying to avoid the paparazzi and hide in your house for two weeks (partying maybe) you get the fuckin carton.
