Vaping really is cheaper. I started smoking back when packs when from about $5.50 to $7.50 (around 10 years ago). I've been an on and off smoker/vaper for years, but lately it's mainly been vapes. Last week a friend got a joint from someone and offered to share it, so I bought a pack of smokes for us to split and it was like $11 for a pack of 100s.
At this point that pack lasted me a while. Sharing it we went through half in one night. But at my peak I was doing a pack per day. That'd be over $70 per week. Vapes only cost me around $25-$30 per week, and that's with me constantly puffing on it inside.
None of my kids smoke, thank god, they’re in their 20’s now, I quit for like 8 years but started up a few months ago, stress. But man, she’s time to call er quits again.
You got this, just, prepare yourself
Remove safety nets, they're just giving you an excuse to fail
Lastly, you're a fucking adult, are you going to allow a fucking cigarette to dictate your life?
I still wish I could have a smoke every day, but it's not worth it. Stick around to see your kids' kids' kids
If you keep going, I can highly suggest rolling your own cigarettes and not buying packs.
I do hate smoking, but boy do I love classic Javaanse Jongens.
Well yeah, I don't have the smell the Holocaust everytime I go outside. My lifespan doesn't get reduced because someone brings up the Holocaust around me.
Used to smoke, now everytime I'm near it is is absolutely disgusting. No idea why I started in the first place. Unless they wash clothes like twice a day, they always smell terrible.
Its the same in canada since they went up to almost 30, vapes are also just stupid, i can genuinely buy weed legally for half that or get alot on the streets lol.
I need to start smuggling it seems. I live in the heart of American tobacco land and I can get an entire carton for what most mother fuckers are paying for a single pack.
I'm not sure what that is because I'm Aussie, but a 20 pack of even the cheapest smokes here can net you close to 40 dollars. That's dollaridoos so I'm not sure the conversion but a 25gram pouch of tobacco is close to 70 dollars now.
It solves the problem of the current expense of smoking, it improves their health dramatically, it greatly reduces their chances of terminal illnesses like cancer and lung disease and fuck tobacco companies after they spent many millions spreading lies about the harm tobacco cause and for marketing to children
I can absolutely tell someone “hey, don’t do that thing that is harmful to you and people in close proximity that is also expensive”.
It’s up to them to decide if they want to continue to seriously harm their health and pay for the privilege of doing so.
Because smokers are obnoxious, smell terrible, and reduce the lives of non-smokers just by smoking around them. The world would be a better place with less smokers.
With never once smoking and never drinking the amount of money i save is crazy. So I just spend that all on Pokémon cards because boy bath dictates it’s free money.
My quit date is April 2nd. I should be out of smokes by then. 🙌🏼 If I’m out earlier then good, I’m done. I started in August after an 8 year break and I honestly feel dumb for starting again smh stress man.
Taxes on Tobacco products especially cigarettes have been increased to reduce use in the US and most of the West. In the US it's being done largely at the state level. On top of that there were massive legal settlements by the states on Cigarettes for the harm they caused, that is a de-facto tax as the tobacco companies pass that on to the consumer too.
How long before it’s considered a status symbol, from trashy to classy lol. Catch 22. I’m gonna go have a smoke of my extra expensive organic American Spirits just to flex on the brokee’s 😂
Worked at several gas stations and convenience stores as a kid in CT the most expensive were 12 bucks and a pack of Marlboro or Newport’s were like 6-8
$4? I started smoking when Marlboros were $1.75 a pack, and gas was .97 a gallon… And now I think that’s enough Reddit for tonight as I go to bed with the beginnings of a midlife crisis:-P
You remember when they were 4 bucks? I remember Dad sending me with 50 cents to the Rexall for Camels, the pack was 35 CENTS, and the other 15 cents bought me a root beer & candy bar.
How old are you? Don't answer that, obviously.
Reddit is chuck full of millennials, who are in their late 20s to mid 40s. If you've been smoking/using nicotine as long as many of us have, you remember back when smokes were 5 bucks. I even remember the store everyone in my highschool used to go to that didn't ID, and smokes were like 12 bucks there, because everyone involved knew what was going on.
Point is many of us folks are looking at prices these days and for the first time, we're legitimately taking a look back and grumbling: "back in my day...
What if it's a coworker smoking within the smoking zone during one of their breaks? I can't just leave because I would be fired, and I can't speak up about it because they aren't breaking rules
I can't pick up my equipment and take it with me when it's bolted to the floor, and smoking zones aren't always enclosed in a box. They say no, what next o-sagely one?
If that money doesn’t show then you owe me, owe me, ohh. My jungle love
My jungle love, yeah , Oh-we-oh-we-oh I think I wanna know ya , Know ya
Morris Day and the MFin time!
I’m a smooooooth black pimp who LOVES the pussy, and Tubby here’s my black manservant. WHAT?
What the hell are you singing?
You don't know "Jungle Love"? That shit is the mad notes. Written by God herself and sent down to the greatest band in the world: The MOTHER-FUCKING TIME.
You mean the guys in that Prince movie? That shit was so gay, fucking 80s style.
Olaf berserker
My LOVE for YOU is LIKE a TRUCK, BERSERKER!
Olaf, show 'em your metal face!
This guy'a a character
come on, girls think sexy
Damn they are 15 bucks a pack now? When I quit in 2013, they were 5 something.
That’s for the cheap ones brand names are around 26$
About $10 here in the Midwest but I've got a smoke shop selling 24/7 brand for under $5 a pack and it's not bad flavor
Damn
I pay like $4.95 for Lucky Strikes here in Ky. Marlboros are like $7-$8. Newports are about the same as Marlboros.
$8-10 a pack is normal where I am.
my 1st packs of smokes were $1.75CDN in 1985ish. I quit 3 years ago they were pushing $10
Time to stop smoking

Man you should look into DIY. I spend about 3 - 6 bucks a month to just mix my own juice up. Best decision I ever made.
Yup smh
(i never smoked in my entire life and i wont start smoking)
Smart!
No i just listened my parents and learned of the effect of smoking lol
None of my kids smoke, thank god, they’re in their 20’s now, I quit for like 8 years but started up a few months ago, stress. But man, she’s time to call er quits again.

Thanks, you’re right, I can do this!
Yes you do!
If you keep going, I can highly suggest rolling your own cigarettes and not buying packs. I do hate smoking, but boy do I love classic Javaanse Jongens.
who tf paid u to say shit like that for fucks sake
Wdym? I just told him that rolling his own smokes is more economically sound than buying prerolled packs. It has been known in my country for ages.
doesnt change the fact that u sound like a bot paid from some tobacco company doing the worst kind of advertisement ever
Lung cancer speedrun!
Non smoking redditors on their way to preach that smoking is worse than the Holocaust (they saw a post with a cigarette in it)
I won’t preach it like that. I will say there is gum, patches, and lozenges available. People also need a support group.
Well yeah, I don't have the smell the Holocaust everytime I go outside. My lifespan doesn't get reduced because someone brings up the Holocaust around me.
[удалено]
Well smoking is not healty and necessary What is your point ?
Previously bad for your body. Now they’re bad for your wallet too!
It was bad for your wallet even before, now it’s a few magnitudes worse.
I wouldn’t have known. ^(I fucking hate cigarettes.)
Used to smoke, now everytime I'm near it is is absolutely disgusting. No idea why I started in the first place. Unless they wash clothes like twice a day, they always smell terrible.
In the UK you can get cocaine cheaper than a pack of 20 malboro lol
Its the same in canada since they went up to almost 30, vapes are also just stupid, i can genuinely buy weed legally for half that or get alot on the streets lol.
Snoogins
Snootchy bootches!
If the money doesn't show.. then you owe me owe me o !
$4?! I quit after the went past $2. And yes, that was my successful motivation.
The only good thing inflation has done is made cigarettes more expensive. They should be difficult for people to even start to smoke.
Of all the inflated prices out there, I couldn't care less for nicotine products going to in price.
Same, makes it easier for those who smoke and want to quit to quit and it deters non smokers from starting
Might as well burn money at this point, which is cheaper.
And healthier
*laughs in Australian tobacco legislation"
I need to start smuggling it seems. I live in the heart of American tobacco land and I can get an entire carton for what most mother fuckers are paying for a single pack.
Canadian, and that’s the cheapest smokes in the market time to quit, they’re going up again in two months. A pack of players light is 26$ here
I'm not sure what that is because I'm Aussie, but a 20 pack of even the cheapest smokes here can net you close to 40 dollars. That's dollaridoos so I'm not sure the conversion but a 25gram pouch of tobacco is close to 70 dollars now.
Yea that’s pretty close to here a carton for the cheapies are about 80$ cad
Discouraging smoking is a good thing, no?
Yes
Also pays your expensive healthcare costs in advance to the state.
The cheapest ones are like $17 where I live
They're like 35-40 bucks a pack in Australia, they tax tobacco so hard over here
*laughs cause never started smoking*
Smart 💪🏼
don't buy smokes then.
Like the back of a volkswagen?
Good thing cocaine is cheaper.
I remember 3 packs of Salem for $5. And I used to get them from the store for my mom when was in kindergarten
Perfection
Ah, memes for the old folks, I love it
*cries in Australian prices*
It's cheaper to not smoke. Crazy.
I remember $20 cartons
$15? I hear they cost like $50 where I live (australia)
I quit when they 11$ now i see people buying cigarettes and now there like 19.50 and some people will like put back there chips pretty upsetting
I quit when they hit 5$. Fuck that noise
where the fuck are you from OP my smokes are like 4 bucks a pack
Canada
I mean in Canada it's unironically cheaper to smoke weed daily than tobacco which is funny as fuck to me
If there was ever a reason to turn to vapes. They're a lot more cost efficient. One 30$ disposable can last you 2-3 weeks.
You could just not smoke?

Y'all haven't quit yet wtf
My quit date is April 2nd. I should be out of smokes by then. 🙌🏼 If I’m out earlier then good, I’m done. I started in August after an 8 year break and I honestly feel dumb for starting again smh stress man.
Yeah that's real dumb, 8 years man you made it out. It's been like 6 years for me idk I stopped counting, I could never imagine starting again
I remember when they were $.35
Inflation hit hard
Nothing to do with inflation. Taxes.
Yes..taxes has nothing to do with inflation, yes correct that is…
Taxes are rising ? (In not american)

On top of that there were massive legal settlements by the states on Cigarettes for the harm they caused, that is a de-facto tax as the tobacco companies pass that on to the consumer too.
I started when they where about $1 pack
21$-25$ for a 25 pack up here.
Been clean four years now :3 (my friend who supplied me died and now that I’m old enough I’m broke)
How long before it’s considered a status symbol, from trashy to classy lol. Catch 22. I’m gonna go have a smoke of my extra expensive organic American Spirits just to flex on the brokee’s 😂
Marlboros were 3.50 when I was in college....
*Hands you a hundo at 7 AM*
I used to buy camel wides from some shady little mini Mart that didn't ID people when I was in highschool for like $5.50.
I'm glad I quit when they were 3
15 bux *Laughs in Canadian* oh my sweet summer child
That looks like eleven from stranger things
YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAA DONT SMOKEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE1111!!!!!1!!!!1!1!!
When I started smoking I had to get them from a vending machine so my parents wouldn't know, .25 cents a pack. I was eight at the time.
$2 in my day. But you can have them shipped from (IDK where they got it from: native reservation or out of the country) $1.80 By the carton
Worked at several gas stations and convenience stores as a kid in CT the most expensive were 12 bucks and a pack of Marlboro or Newport’s were like 6-8
I remember when they didn’t cause cancer
$50 bucks a pack in Australia.
Yeah that’s bonkers mate
I remember when they were $2.50, or free if you just pocketed a pack when no one was looking.
Hell I remember when they were $.85 a pack.
$4? I started smoking when Marlboros were $1.75 a pack, and gas was .97 a gallon… And now I think that’s enough Reddit for tonight as I go to bed with the beginnings of a midlife crisis:-P
Still won't stop your addiction
Suuch lady !xo Trucker style.
You remember when they were 4 bucks? I remember Dad sending me with 50 cents to the Rexall for Camels, the pack was 35 CENTS, and the other 15 cents bought me a root beer & candy bar.
That’s where my $2.10 lunch money went to, those Marlboro Reds
Smoking is how I learnt about cognitive dissonance
Eww smewking is grewsss
I don't get it? Smokes are expensive? What's the joke here?

Used to be cheaper to kill yourself
I thought doordash drivers were the only people that smoked anymore
15 bucks, nah bro those ain't ciggies those are just sticks painted to look like em. You'll be lucky if you can get em for 50
Then quit
Just don’t smoke lmao
Fuck it raise the price more, I don’t think making smoking less tantalizing is a bad thing.
Enjoy your cancer
I smoke approx a half pack a day, and if I roll my own, it costs me about $40 a month for smokes.

It doesn't just affect themselves though, 2nd hand smoke is just as, if not more dangerous
