I dropped mine pretty dramatically in the last year. Quit smoking. $12/pack * pack/day = $4380/year Eating at home every meal (save one/week). Went from $10/meal out to $3/meal in (I don't eat breakfast usually). $5000/year No drinking on school nights ~ $4000/year That's a lot of after tax cash.

$12/pack ?!? It's less than half that? Or where are you that the taxes are that high?

  Looks like it's even more than that in New York. http://fairreporters.net/health/prices-of-cigarettes-by-state/ http://fairreporters.net/health/prices-of-cigarettes-by-stat...

  Vancouver. If you think that's expensive, you should see our real estate!

    Pricey real estate I can wrap my head around, Bay Area here. But $12/pack? Madness.

      It's about A$1 per cigarette in Australia, or about US$19 per pack of 25.

      Those would be Canadian $ though, I presume.

        Yes, though CAD/USD was at parity for quite a while, and the price doesn't change w the exchange rate

      $8-10/pack in WA also.

  It's $20USD per pack here in Australia. It's reduce lousy tax but with the plain packaging and this price has really gotten people to quit.
