Whats more expensine? Gas or cigarettes

joeyp · Feb 22, 2011

Just wondering what people think is more expensive for you. Gas or cigarettes and which one will being going up again soon. Heard cigarettes will be going up to $10 a pack in ny state and gas hitting $5 gallon. Would like to herewhat you think i think it might be cheaper to smoke pot than cigs in the long run. Lol

gas is relatively uniform in price across the US. Cigs can be like $3 or $10 a pack depending on where you are. Nobody really needs cigs, but everybody needs gas ( or at least a bus or something to get around). Pot isn't cheaper, of course !

Cigs can easily be a $300 month habit on top of maybe $400 a month for gasoline....gonna be a lot of broke fucks soon !

Where I am cigarettes are 280 times more expensive than gas

With a Ford Focus in southern Nevada I can drive about two miles for the cost of one cigarette

smokes here without a doubt , 10+ a pack for named brand and 6-8 for others. We also have the most ugliest adds on packs of dying cancer patients , rotting teeth , impatient cigarettes to make you think of your dick , and a lot of other gross pictures ON EVERY PACK. Im glad to see it too , was a contributing factor to me quitting and also we loose so many to smoking illnesses its a wonder why its even legal. I mean ffs weed has never killed anyone yet alcohol and cigarettes are still legal , c'mon

also looking at it this way
I used to smoke about a pack every 2 days
so 5 bucks a day roughly
150 $ a month
1800 $ a year roughly ... just amazing i was paying that much to kill myself .

Joey, you are about 8 Months behind on the Cigarette price ( well maybe by You )
Here on Long island the price is anywhere from $9.80 - $11.50
in the City limits , $12.50- $15 a pack.

I get them from the Indians ..... $28.90 for Seneca or $48.00 for Marlboro Lights
that's for Cartons

i can image them in the gift shops in atlantic city being probaly about $20 a pack because 6 years ago when i was in ac and smoking, they ere $10 inthe gift shops and was was lending some around in the horse room until 1 guy borrowed like 3 and i showerd him the gift shop told him before you bet another race, go buy a pack and dont bother me. alot of muchers down there, one reason i dont go down there

cigs up here are like $10 for top brands and $8.50 for non brands

So that's not that bad.... but you are probably close to the Indian places up there....
people that smoke could do good up by you.

I remember when i said , I would quit when they went to $1.25 a pack

Its actually not that bad. I was at the Borgata 2 weeks ago and If I remember right (Lots of drinkin') it was only $13 a pack. Which put in persective for the current cost and where I was, wasn't too bad.
