Been vaping for 4yrs as of July 1. Never really paid attention but was in store grabbing a couple bottles of tea today and looked prices of cigs. $7 or more per pack. Wow!!

As far as supplies go, vaping is cheap. Congrats on 4yrs of smoke free breathing.

About $25 per pack of 20 here in NZ. That's about $17 US.
The government is taxing the hell out of the smokers here...!

Congratulations on your 4 year anniversary!

There are some states where smokes have been $10/pack or more for about the last 5-6 years!

I used to buy cartons of Marlboro for $67. But my favorite 555 were $81.

When I was young a pack of cigarettes cost about the same as a gallon of gas, a little over $0.30.

Pack of 20 is about $0.30 in Vietnam, if there's anyone planning to travel that way...

Congratulations on your 4 year achievement. 6.50 when I quit, .50 when I started.

Last pack I bough of “cheaper” cigarettes L&M was in November and cost $9 here in the Boston area. The big names brands are mostly over $10 a pack.

Sheesh, you'd think some enterprising soul would engage in some, uhm, let's call it "price arbitrage", between 'Nam and Oz/NZ...

Except for that the difference is in taxes.
Some of the gas stations here buy Marley's w/o the tax stamp from dealers who sell to Colombia where they cost less than a buck/pack. Then they sell them here for $7/pack...under the counter arbitration

Lol when I visited there I returned with a few cartons. At customs back in NZ they hit me with tax and duties, and it cost me the same as when I would've bought it here...

Yeah... Cigarettes are kinda Trippy.

They cost a Fortune to Buy them.

And they are one of the Few Things I know of that will Kill You if Used as Directed.
