If you smoke cigarettes, you’re dropping a lot of dough on a smelly habit.
It’s no secret that cigarettes are expensive, no matter where you live. The cheapest cigarettes are in Missouri and Virginia at $5.25 per pack, according to Fair Reporters, and the highest prices are in New York City, at $13. If you smoke a pack a week, that’s an annual cost between $273 and $676. A pack a day? That puts your spending between $1,916.25 and $4,745 a year.
Add to that the higher medical costs caused by smoking. Medical expenses attributed to smoking are nearly $170 billion in the U.S. each year, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
