Here in Hawaii I will easily pay over $9 for a pack of Newports. I feels AWESOME to look at those prices and know I am no longer a slave to them. =)
I must be doing something wrong

LOL, I have spent far more on this than smokes, but I only started a month ago and there are so many wonderfull toys and tastes to experience.
I'm sure that I'll start seeing some savings next year...
...maybe.
.
Your kidding me you spent more than 200 in two weeks? What you smoke 4-5 packs a day?
Upstate NY near Lake George. Been a long time since I've been able to get them for $35 up here. Well except when I had a friend from TN shipping them to me for awhile

When we stopped analogs here in rural Illinois in July, we were paying $45 a carton for the cheapest generics. But, we smoked one and half to two cartons per week. That's around $270 each month. We're breathing easier, in a lot of ways, now.
I'm going to be in the red for a while as I just spent another $200 ordering a 510 and all various stuff I think needs to be with it. I'm currently paying $33.00/Carton for Pall Mall, although you can get the really cheap generics for about $16/Carton still.
Wow! I did not realize that cigarette prices varied that much from state to state. Now I understand how people are able to spend so much on all of the different mods and stuff if they are just spending what they were on cigs.
I can remember thinking ... if the price ever gets to $1/pk, I'll quit. Yeah, right. I guess price was never an effective quit smoking motivator for me.
Brewster, quite the opposite, mate. I used to get my tobacco really cheap (from a friend who did regular tobacco runs to France). It worked out at around £35 - £40 per month for me (whats that in US money, $75 dollars a month or there abouts?).
At the moment, I am 1 month into e-cigs and I have spent around £200 (UK) on this...but I have almost half a litre of juice, plenty of attys, several batteries, passthrough, spare fluval, spare carts, PG, nic juice, flavourings and all the other accesories gadgets etc.
The truth is, once I stop buying like a maniac, This will probably work out saving me a few pounds per month, but I never came into this with a money saving mentality...it's my health that is important, and if I save a few quid along the way, then that is just a bonus.
So, for now, no money saved, I've spent a lot more than I would have on tobacco products...as for the the future, maybe some savings to be had.
Edit: If I had been smoking packs of proper cigerettes and paying over the counter prices in the UK, smoking would have cost me around £40 per week (£160 per month)...work that out in US dollars! 8-o
