I stopped smoking a decade ago. Do cigarettes really cost that much now? Fuck...

[-] Obi@sopuli.xyz 19 points 2 weeks ago

In Europe many countries are at 12€ a pack...

[-] BrisvegasLukass@lemmy.world 13 points 2 weeks ago

In Australia they are $50-$60

[-] victorz@lemmy.world 26 points 2 weeks ago

Good. Slowly killing yourself should be reserved for the rich.

Let's try and convince Elon that smoking is cool

I'd believe it... I remember they were around $10 per pack back when my parents smoked, over 20 years ago. My mum saved so much money by quitting. Unfortunately my dad didn't quit until much later after having a heart attack and realizing he had to change his habits.

Wow. How can there be a single person in australia paying so much for slowly killing themselves?

[-] Hadriscus@lemm.ee 5 points 2 weeks ago

The vicious power of tobacco is not to be underestimated, or trifled with

[-] ubergeek@lemmy.today 2 points 2 weeks ago

A pack of smokes in NYS is ~$15US right now.

[-] JasonDJ@lemmy.zip 13 points 2 weeks ago

Marlboros here in MA I think are around $12-$13 a pack.

The really amazing thing is that most the people who smoke, by most measures, really can't afford it, but somehow manage to squeeze it into their budget. People who can afford it...quit smoking years ago.

[-] Harvey656@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago

Oh no, I certainly cannot afford 13 dollars a day. That's 130 bucks in 10 days. No way could I possibly fit that into my budget, back when they were 5 dollars a pack, it felt like highway robbery, this... would be out of the question.

That seems really cheap compared to Australia
