Obviously the cost of a pack of premium cigarettes varies from state to state, but for this article we’ll just use my state of Alabama, which costs about $5.27 per pack. Let’s use this amount in the following figures.
$5.27 + 1 pack per day = $36.89 per week, $158.10 per month, $1923.55 per year $5.27 + 2 packs per day = $73.78 per week, $316.20 per month, $3847.10 per yearNow that we know the cost of tobacco cigarettes, let’s lay down the cost of vaping with its different types and setups.
