That's why I switched to vaping. They charge you a fortune to smell like a damn ashtray.
Yeah, I remember going to 3 or 4 stores before finding my brand. Really aggravating

I think they were around 2.25/pack for marlboro's when I started smoking back in the 80's and I thought that was expensive. Now they are around 6.30/pack if you buy them as a 2 pack special in my state! Even with around $120 in a kit/cartos/juices over the past month, I'll still only be about half of my 'normal' analog costs at the end of the month..... crazy!
When I used to smoke, I would always tell myself, "Ok man, you just spent over $7 for this pack, you ARE going to make them LAST!" Half way through the day and completely through the pack I would then say...well, I can't use those words in this forum.
The point is that I was a slave to the cigs. I would have spent damn near any amount of money for them and the sad part is that I wouldn't have rationed them either.

Same here. I once said that to some one "I'm a slave to these things".
Analogs were about 55 cents a pack when I started smoking.
I worked at a store where we charged 75 cents a pack.
Customers would get so outraged: "75 CENTS!!!"
A carton was $7.11.

They are paying 10.00 dollars a pack here in New York. What a joke! Glad I quit,I feel for the people who have to pay those prices.
Yes way to much $$$$ and the juices taste much better.Enjoy the far better things that go with e cigs taste smell no burning and yes the cost in the long run much cheaper!
I used to pay $5 a pack then I started rolling and it was a big difference in prices. I still smoke a few analogs, but I love my vaping. My goal is by fall to be done with analogs. Fingers crossed.
Towards the end of my smoking carrer I ditched the american spirits and started buying the sub-$5 brands.
Even if I was paying $10 for 10ml of juice it would still last me far longer than a pack of cigs would.

As Robin stated be gald you don't live in NY and smoke!!! My habit was costing $15/day. Now I spend about as much on MODS, DIY, Atty's etc but I have one hell of a cool collection and my previous habit would have only netted me a pile of butts, empty packs and ashes for all that cash. Vape on and the tax man can KMA
So ya already 1/4 of the way thru this pack. This sux my ego didn't ship today as there was a tornado or something at puresmokers HQ glad they are ok but ugh darn mother nature I'm gonna end up spe ding all my food money on analogs waiting on my ego :::grumble:::

In Australia, you are looking at $13-$15 for a pack of 25. And the Aus $ is very similar to the US $ at the moment. I can't believe how cheap cigs are in America! They are a lot more heavilly taxed here.
They slowly raise the sin taxes here to try and keep people buying. New York state estimated that they lost about 50 million in tax revenue last year from people buying cigs out of state and from indian reservations. Those poor politicians! How will they feed their families?
I hope your eGo comes in soon Kitty! I'll keep my fingers crossed for you!
It is $11.50 for a pack of Marlboro Lights here in New York but when I first started they were $5.00.
$50+ dollars for a carton of Marlboro's in FL. $200 a month for me! I switched to making my own about a year ago, cost me about $30 a month. I would buy "pipe" tobacco that was really the same as the cigarette tobacco but labeled differently/cut differently. From what I hear the government is now planning to put the same tax on pipe tobacco, so it's a good thing I switched to e-cigs a couple weeks ago.
All this government involvement makes me nuts. Of course, it's not just the taxes raising the prices, the manufacturers are also raising them. Let's hope they don't get into the e-cig business, but most likely they will.

$76.50 a carton for Marby's...in New Jersey. $280 a month. $90 at Cignot for a decent Joye set up and $70 in cartos and I will be good for the next month.
