Monetary Cost of Smoking

The average cost of a pack of cigarettes is about $5. We'll also use that as a baseline as far as how much a smoker smokes in a day. This obviously would be 7 packs a week, or $35. After multiplying this figure out for a year and then dividing by 12, we come up with an average monthly cost of about $150 per month. So $150 per month to smoke. I guess if you're well off or put a high priority on buying your cigarettes this isn't that much to worry about. I mean if you think of all the gains from smoking, paying $150 price every month for them really doesn't seem like a lot!

Seriously though, the $5 per pack of cigarettes is just the beginning.
