They're almost an equivalent price now, thanks to taxes on cigarettes.

[-] Gordon@lemmy.world 7 points 11 months ago

Was gonna say, I don't smoke but I was in upstate NY and a guy gave me a $20 to grab him a pack of smokes from a corner store while I was running in to grab a snack, and I thing I got like $1 and change back. I was appalled.

[-] TheBloodFarts@lemmy.world 5 points 11 months ago

Yup. Gotta say though, it works. I've backed down from impulse buying a pack on several occasions because I didn't want to drop $20 for 30s of satisfaction

UK here, I used to smoke Joints with tobacco mixed in. Gave up tobacco but still liked a joint.

I moved to a dry herb vape, and now only smoke a Joint very occasionally when someone offers me a cigarette, which is very rare because of the price.

I go "Yeah thanks" and put it behind my ear and tell em I'll get 2 joints out of that later.

Can people be banned from buying cigarettes?

[-] AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

My cigarettes cost me $0.04.21 each, but when I smoked I rolled my own with a Top-O-Matic. An entire month worth of smokes still would only cost me $42.

[-] force@lemmy.world 11 points 11 months ago

only $42 / month

jesus christ as if i needed even more reason not to be addicted to nicotine

[-] jivandabeast@lemmy.browntown.dev 9 points 11 months ago

That's ... not that much tbh. If you were to go to the bar with your friend once a month you could easily pay double, the cost of like two movie tickets and popcorn, etc etc

[-] hemko@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 11 months ago

That's really cheap. A pack a day can cost you over $300 month depending where you live

[-] Lifebandit666@feddit.uk 1 points 11 months ago

Meh, I spend that on weed, and more on rum

[-] AnUnusualRelic@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

$0.04.21? But at 1:05.21, how much more expensive would they be?

What's the inflation like in your location?

[-] AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

Well, the inflation is the same as it is everywhere else in California, but I actually already inflated the price.

When I quit, the price was $0.03.42 per cigarette or $35 a month. I tended to smoke and give away around 1000 cigarettes per month when I smoked.

At $0.10.521 per cigarette, that would cost me $105.25 a month.
