Money Talks

In 2020, the average price of a pack of cigarettes in the United States was $6.30. In some states, the average price was over $10 per pack. A pack-a-day smoker in those states spends $70 per week on cigarettes. That could buy a week’s worth of groceries, two to three tanks of gas, or pay a month’s utility bill. Over months and years, the possibilities go even further.

A can of chewing tobacco costs an average of nearly $3. A two can-a-week habit costs over $300 per year. A can-a-day habit costs nearly $1,100 per year. Think of all the things you could do with the money instead of dipping or chewing. It adds up.
