My cigarettes cost me $0.04.21 each, but when I smoked I rolled my own with a Top-O-Matic. An entire month worth of smokes still would only cost me $42.

only $42 / month

jesus christ as if i needed even more reason not to be addicted to nicotine

That's ... not that much tbh. If you were to go to the bar with your friend once a month you could easily pay double, the cost of like two movie tickets and popcorn, etc etc

That's really cheap. A pack a day can cost you over $300 month depending where you live

Meh, I spend that on weed, and more on rum

$0.04.21? But at 1:05.21, how much more expensive would they be?

What's the inflation like in your location?

Well, the inflation is the same as it is everywhere else in California, but I actually already inflated the price.

When I quit, the price was $0.03.42 per cigarette or $35 a month. I tended to smoke and give away around 1000 cigarettes per month when I smoked.

At $0.10.521 per cigarette, that would cost me $105.25 a month.
