I thought I was surprising my parents for Easter with flowers and chocolate. Instead, I found them living in the garage—while my sister Cassandra had taken over their house. The moment I stepped inside, I knew something was wrong. The cozy family home I grew up in was gone—replaced with cold, modern furniture, gray walls, and no trace of our life there. Then I heard her—Cassandra, laughing with her boyfriend, Nathan. I found my parents in the garage, sleeping on cots, cooking on a camping stove. “It’s just temporary,” my mom whispered. But I knew better. I took them to a hotel and got to work. I’m a contracts manager—I understand paperwork. I found the deed: my parents were the only owners. Cassandra? Just a guest. And legally, guests can be evicted. I invited her to lunch, recorded our conversation, and used it as evidence. Three days later, I returned with a police escort and an eviction notice. A week later, my parents were back home, warm, safe, and surrounded by love. Cassandra? Couch-surfing. Nathan? Gone.That Easter ended with grilled steaks, tulips on the table, and laughter echoing through the house again. Home was home again—and everything was back where it belonged.

The price per pack of cigarettes is largely determined by government taxes, manufacturer costs, and retailer margins. Taxes often make up the biggest portion, sometimes more than half the price. Retailers add a small margin for profit. Periodic tax increases raise prices over time, which governments often use to reduce smoking rates and generate public revenue.
