That's a lot of smoking.
I've been a smoker for 9 years now, and I still smoke at most 2 packs per month. I buy the most expensive cigarettes that are still mass-market, and still I only pay ~$20 per month for my habit.
If I were poor, I'd have to look more closely at that $20, but for anyone in the middle class $20 is the price of a good meal if that.
With the game, I found myself questioning a lot of the priors such as---why when I'm living <5 miles away from work, do I lose my job the moment I don't have a car? Can't I walk?
Why do I even have a car in the first place? Also, why do I have a mobile phone on monthly contract? Was pre-paid not available in my area?
It's just a game but it seems pretty unfair even for small choices.
