      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.

        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.

      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.

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

        What’s the inflation like in your location?

          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.
