Rollups using tobacco is much cheaper than packets of cigs. Vapes are much cheaper than rollups (and imo healthier too.)

I’m glad i quit smoking, a pack of Camels here now costs $15! I used to smoke a pack a day…now i can use the money for food or gas. I do miss the vape sometimes, tho, and I’m still addicted to nicotine gum.

All the best trying to quit. I used to smoke a pack a day back in my 20’s. I vape now but even this is getting expensive.

The cost of living is cruel.

I used to….from totally wicked. And I would mix the juice myself as it was a lot cheaper

However at the moment I have not been able to order from there cos the website isn’t working so I’ve been buying it from a local shop.

Your right. The price is so much more. Friday I need to buy more. Hopefully the website is working by then.

My boyfriend buys cheap no brand copy cigarettes.

Less than 1/3 of the cost and dong taste that bad either.

Not all tobacconist sell them but one can ask.

I started smoking when I was 13.
I quit when I was around 30.

A few weeks ago or so I was tasting a few puffs of my boyfriend’s cigarettes after soooooo many years without a puff but then i started enjoying it and craving it so I nolonger taste his smokes.

I can adore smoking sometimes but can’t afford too plus it ain’t good for ya.

Minestrone soup made from frozen veggies and soup mix in is cheap to make n nourishing.

Good wishes!:pray:t4:
