Here's how much food You can buy for the price of a pack of cigarettes in Australia

How much can you save by quitting smoking? Have you thought about this question? And here 's Judy Lawson from Launceston (Australia) thought about it. Together with their grandson, they conducted an experiment to find out how much food you can buy instead of a pack of cigarettes. Since cigarettes are very expensive in Australia, the result was impressive.

When we wrote that cigarettes are "very expensive" in Australia, it was not just words. A pack of 40 cigarettes that participated in the experiment cost 56.95 Australian dollars. This (do not fall) is approximately 2,400 rubles. Yes, smoking there significantly harms not only your health, but also your wallet.

The total cost was 56.85 Australian dollars. That is, even slightly less than the cost of cigarettes. So imagine — one smoked pack a day in Australia costs the same as a menu for a week. There could be a moral about the dangers of smoking, but it will not be. You can see everything for yourself, because photos say more than words.
