  • In my country a packet of 20 are around 3.5 - 5 dollars. The cigarettes i smoke (Marlboro) are around 4.1 USD. 

    I remember years ago when i lived at the border with Ukraine (my house was just 100m from Ukraine) i went almost every day with my bike to buy cigarettes in Ukraine to buy cigarettes beceause the prices was less than half than in Romania.

    I did the same think when i lived in Maryland, i worked near Delaware (in the last building of Maryland, at 20m from Delaware) and when i discovered there are no taxes in Delaware i went there every day to buy cigarettes :))

  • Parliament 1.1$ others is around 0.80$. Few years ago prices was x2.5 cheaper

  • Now i smoke around 20 cigarettes per day. It cost me 25.2 UAH ~= 1$ per day.

    It's not a big money, but the average salary in my town is ~200-250$, so it matters. 

    I hope i will be able to quit smoking in the near future.

  • Zero. I´ve stopped smoking ages ago, and I smoked a lot! If I could stop playing with money I'd be happy.

  • i believe here cigarettes are $6 to $7 a pack. i dont smoke but my daughter and son in law does. they got so expensive that they  bought a cigarettes roller and makes their own for over half the price.

  • I quit 7 years ago, and now I cannot even remember what I smoked back in the day. I do remember I started with PalMal, and then went on with several varieties of Ronhil, which cost around £6, thenit any more....I decided to not force myself into smoking again and just stop. It was hard during the first 2 months or so cause I had strong cravings, especially after lunch and in the evening but I soldiered on, and eventually did not feel them any more.

  • Smoking is expensive, both in terms of daily finances and in terms of health.

  • Smoking cost me around 70 - 80$ / month. But for my health it s costing me a life... And Life don t have a price.

  • Interesting topic!  I've been smoking since I was a teenager and enjoy it.  I usually go for a walk when I smoke so it gives me a chance to think and stretch my legs a little. I've always believed in doing what I like and enjoying life because you never know when your last day is.

    I switched from Marlboro Gold (lights) to Marlboro Special Blend Gold Pack.  A carton of 10 packs costs me $35/36 after a $3/$4 coupon I get in the mail from Marlboro.  They usually send a couple coupons per month, like most of the major cigarette brands. 

    Google the brand you smoke and sign up on their website for special offers.  I know Marlboro has a ton of promos and gifts they give away as do Newport and Camel.

  • Here in CA, the recent cigarette tax increased my Camel 99's to nearly $8 a pack. Also, fun fact, the legal age to purchase cigarettes was raised to 21 years of age becoming the second state to do so following Hawaii. And if national and political trends hold true with this law, the rest of the U.S. may do the same state by state.Of course it may not but it's something to consider and yes, blame the west if a new proposal to raise the smoking age comes to your state.

    Good times,

  • 12€/16$ in norway. I dont smoke anymore smiley

  • Wow!! that is really expensive Tinka,   that's probably Norway's way of encouraging people to stop.  I have to say I'm glad to hear so many people on this thread have or are trying to quit.  Sorry,  don't mean to be preachy, but I'm in the medical field specializing in pulmonary disorders .    Anyways,  I was going to say, if I smoked,  I would have to quit as I couldn't afford to gamble.....

  • Too much! I spend about 12$ Canadian for a pack of smokes and I smoke almost a pack a day. That’s about 350$ a month and 4200$ a year! I sometimes buy them in cartons but I find I smoke them faster if I do that.

  • i smoke marlboro ice blast and it costs anywhere from $29 to $35 for a pack of 25 ciggerettes.

  • Well, most people who know me would say its the last thing that can happen but I quit smoking 4 months ago. I've been passionate smoker since I was 14, and I'm 36 now. Thats 22 years of smoking at least 2 packs a day, on weekends when I go out it could easily go up to 4 packs. 

    My main reason for quiting is what I lately get for my money. For example: Lucky Strike currently costs around 2.1 euros for a pack of 20. Real factory price of that pack is around 0.8 euros and and rest is tariffs. However, we used to have domestic made cigarettes in Serbia which were cheap crap on one side and imported quality ones on the other. But since international companies bought our domestic industry and started making cigs here, everything we have here effectively became cheap crappy domestic product, just with fancy brand on it. Old domestic brands vanished, and there is very little if any difference between various currently sold products (whatever you buy, it tastes the same). I started to often find uncut tobacco branches inside a cig too, and too often in a pack of 20 cigs I get 1 or 2 broken or badly assembled. So I decided its enough, I would rather have a pack of American Marlboro for $10 than domestic made one for $1, but because there is no way to have it, I quit smoking :)

    and here I thought you quit because its healthy thing to do tongue

  • Lol health reasons are how I've been persuading myself into the whole idea :) You know, like, I'm gonna jogg in the morning and will need my lounge capacity and all that stuff... sadly the jogging thing is being further away from reality each day, and I'll always miss a good cigarette :D

    The exact same thing happened in Romania, now you get the same crappy taste regardless of the brand. That's not why I quit smoking, though, but I do admit I miss cigarettes now and again. 

  • Wow,  I can't believe the variance in prices.  Drtheolen,  I'm really glad to hear you quit for whatever reason, you too Johnny.    By the way,  just out of curiosity,   if you had to choose,  money for smoking or money to gamble?   Which one........

    Money was not a factor in my decision to quit smoking, so I can't give you an answer to your question. However, looking back I can see that I have saved quite a bit of cash since I stopped buying cigarettes. 

  • califrnia marlbors are $9, I get coupons from marlboro saving $2 a pack, i get two if the coupons each month, i need to quit sucj a ugly habit

  • About 300$ To 350$ monthly a pack of marlboro cost 3.5$ for 20 shi****t the slow death  

  • Even though I quit a long time ago, this is an important issue to me as my wife is hopelessly addicted. 

    A pack costs about 50 Danish crowns, which is about eight US dollars. 

    However, I get increasingly worried about the health costs that accumulate as time keeps going by and she does not quit.

    Smokers pay in more ways than just from the wallet. 

    But then again some never get too horribly ill or messed up from the habit. 

    It is a hard habit to quit if you are really hooked. 

  • In France a pack of cigarettes costs about 8 or 9 euros. So I used to pay 120 euros per month for my cigarettes but the last increase of prices convinced me to buy an e-cigarette, it took me some times to get used to it, but I now mostly use my e-cigarette and reduce more and more my tobacco budget.

  • I pay e3 for a pack

  • Yeah about 10 bucks here in California. Doctor told me 1 pack a day will take 7 years off my life. The next day I started smoking 2 packs a day.

  • A pack of belmonts large regular, with 25 ciggs in it, in toronto canada costs 20 dollars! Wow you guys in europe and america have it way better than us.

  • I now smoke only IQOS and sticks for it cost about $ 2, about the same on average for a pack of cigarettes in Russia

  • in poland around 4euro 
    or 20 euro one kg of tabaco no banderole frome willage man

  • Since I started smoking, probably about 2003 I smoked only one brand. I smoked one or few from friends but when I bought, I only bought my brand, Peter Stuyvesant Extra Mild. Used to cost about R32.00 US (That's South African Rand - ZAR). ($2.27 US) 

    Lockdown came they made it illegal to smoke, but of course selling continued only at a much a higher price.... R100 per pack!! ($7.00) I was forced to buy these cheaper brands it continued for months, after it was made legal again of course, the price HAD to go up. It now sells for R47 ($3.50)  still can't afford it now.

    I still smoke the cheapies now at R10.00 ($0.71) per day

  • I smoke the dark teal organic american spirit pouch. They are around $23 all across the country. 1 pouch lasts about a week and a half to 2 weeks. When I smoked "crack" cigarettes usually parliments a pack would last me a day and a half. The synthetic nicotine hits you harder and goes away faster. I can barely finish an american spirit. A morlboro or any other non natural leaves me wanting one as soon as it's out. I also roll what I call 50/50 most of the time 50% tobacco and 50% cannabis.

  • A lot! I'm going to quit! 

  • I am smoking for 23 years now almost. I quit for 4 years in between and started again now 2 years ago.

    I smoke Dunhill Red (Courtleigh) That cost around $3 per packet of 20. I used to smoke Stuyvesant Filter.

  • Benson & Hedges Special -$17 a pack of 25-Western Canada. 

  • When cigarettes went up to 7$ a pack here , we decided to try rolling our own like some of our friends. I still like a regular pack of cigs once in while but after you smoke the roll your owns it's hard to taste the regulars. Ours are now I think around 9$ a pack but I can roll 2 cartons of smokes with one large bag and 3 boxes of papers so maybe a few more. It's time consuming but the price of bag and boxes is a whopping 25 to 27$ for all of that ! 

    Quit smoking I could save that for gambling ;)

    Why not buy that small machine thingy that rolls cigarretes? Prices vary, there are really cheap ones, but I think unused ones in the range of $40 to $50 are very good and fast, good investment. 

  • For a couple of years now I've been using a wape (e-cigarette), since I have been making the liquid myself, it has been less expensive.
