Weekly smoking costs

[Amorphous]

No intention on lecturing people, honest: how much would smokers here say they spend on cigarettes/cigarette-related stuff in a week?

I ask because my dad has/had a system of saving money which was to simulate a smoking habit by putting some money into a jar each week, which is then only used for fun things. While I don't entirely follow the logic, it seems like a nice way of saving for a motorbike.

So far I've had figures from £10 to £25, both extremes coming from the same person.

20 a day will cost in excess of £35.

It costs me about a fiver cos i'm on roll ups.

[veeeffarr]

About £35 a week if I smoke straights, About £20 if I smoke rollies as well, about £10 if I smoke just rollies.

Leave you to work it out but i was smoking upto 60 a day, but i had to cut down a lot and now just smoke a few roll ups to get me by.

I quit 3 days ago and my wallet already feels heavier.

Though I was getting 50g of GV for less than a fiver and that lasted nearly a month so, with riz and filters I was spending about £10 a month. £2 a week.

I stopped smoking at the beginning of the year so I'm pleased to say I don't spend anything on tobacco anymore
I used to roll my own and would smoke on average 50g of Golden Virginia a week which I would pay £4.50 for.
I'm 6 months into giving up and I'm hoping I've cracked it this time, fingers crossed.

I quit 9 years ago, so I've saved about £10,000

When I quit, I put the money in a jar which then went to a pc upgrade, camcorder, stuff like that. It was an eye opener to see how quick the cash built up. After about 6 months, we decided the money should go towards loans and credit cards, etc.

Good Thread it might make me realise how much I spend on them ( I know anyway but this will give me an insentive to quit....Again )

35 Quid a Week/1820 Quid a Year.....Add the occasional extra tenner if I'm perticuly stressed during the week.....

Fuck Me that's Depressing.....Look at the Porn I could have brought.....

Noticed how much i was spending on fags and decided to go back to the rollies. Should save me a bit more, but if i want to save the money i should really quit.

£5 a week.

[Rookie]

50g pack of GV will last me about a month, pay £5 for it, plus lighters and papers is about £6 a month. I have a habit of chewing the papers.

But if I have money I end up buying straights when I'm out on the piss or on a rideout so that probably comes in at about £20 a month.

£26 a month - I can live without that, and smoking gives me a little element of pleasure in my life. I have no intention to quit before I'm out of university - I'm happy to carry on killing myself for the next 3 years.

Only really smoke when i'm at college, at work, or out. So about £10 a week, not including the purchase of cigarettes for the sole purpose of using the tobacco inside them.

[Dragonfly]

pouch of samsun tabacco from under the counter £5 , does a week. far cheaper than ciggs and last longer. does me fine.

Don't smoke but I buy the odd 10 pack for the tobacco content if you get my drift.

Nothing, because i never got caught up in it.

I dread to think what my parents wasted though. Both a minimum of 20 a day but anything up to 60. Which over 40 years has got to be at least £200,000 (considering inflation).

[Teaman]

Smoke for a month
Id recomend 20 Malbs a day and see how much money you loose:)



<<< dont smoke any more but when I did it cost me about 9 quid a week on rollies

[The View Askew]

Now calculate how much we all spend on beer.

Smoking's only a lil chunk out of the income.

Then again, you can live without smoking, longer in fact.

I'd like to see a booze free man.
