The price of a packet of cigarettes isn’t going to be the difference between them surviving and thriving, so they opt for the small amount of short term enjoyment.
I can dig it, I was that poor once. It’s like I could go all week without any enjoyment whatsoever, and maybe in a few months I’ll have enough to do something boring but sensible that might slightly improve my long term prospects… Or I could blow the last few bucks in my bank account on a pack of ciggies and have some guilty pleasures immediately.
Pretty hard up stay strong to be honest.

Other guy said $55-60 a pack. At a half pack a day that’s $10,494 a year. That’s a ton of money.
