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.
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.
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.
I stopped smoking a decade ago. Do cigarettes really cost that much now? Fuck…
In Europe many countries are at 12€ a pack…
£15 in the UK.
In Australia they are $50-$60
Good. Slowly killing yourself should be reserved for the rich.
Let’s try and convince Elon that smoking is cool
He’ll smoke weed just fine.
Youre joking right?
Apparently not

Wow. How can there be a single person in australia paying so much for slowly killing themselves?
The vicious power of tobacco is not to be underestimated, or trifled with
A pack of smokes in NYS is ~$15US right now.

That seems really cheap compared to Australia
You should see New Zealand.
