Cigarettes where I live range from $1.50 to 5.00, as far as I know. I've mainly been buying Camels and MArlboro, which are about 3.30, give or take.

One of the girls who work's for me comes from Slovakia and a pack of twenty is approx £1.25, which is about 65 cents. I gave up 8 months ago though, I just drink more beer now!

Michigan has the highest tax on cigarettes in the US which makes it 5.25 for a pack of camels or marlboros(which are my two preferences). I went with a friend to North Carolina and totally stocked up for a while @ 3 bucks a pack. Lately though I've been using a little packing machine and buying tubes and tobacco which is SOOOOOOOO much cheaper.

By the way, I do smoke and I've smoked for three years and been a pack-a-day smoker for almost a year now.

One bag of 50 grams lasts me a week.
So if cheese is doing 2 and a half per week, then in real terms he's smoking about 40 per day approx.
Maybe more, depends on how much baccy he uses per ciggy.
Either way...he's a heavy smoker.
