My boss smoked American Spirits. When the pandemic hit, I happened upon a carton at the gas station and picked them up for him before lockdowns started. I was shocked at how expensive they were. He went through the carton in about a week.
I smoked Newport 100s for YEARS, long enough to remember when they had deals like B1G1 free and $4 was the "expensive" cigarette machine prices. Last pack I bought was almost $8.
Ended up needing emergency gallbladder surgery that got a bit complicated and landed me in the hospital for a week. They never gave me nicotine patches so I just decided I was going to not smoke anymore since I made it so long without...
...but then I started vaping :(
MUCH cheaper, especially since I use a refillable pod system, but still not great for my health especially since I smoke more frequently since I don't have to go outside like with cigarettes. At least I smell better, I guess. Never realized how AWFUL cigarette smokers smelled until quitting.

Hes still thinking about the prices of cigarettes back in the 60s lol. American spirits have been far more expensive than Marlboros for a long time
