| Price per pack or as the chart outlines 25 cigs, seems to be wrong for Canada. A single pack can cost 11$ CAD to 15.50$ CAD, with cartons costing ~100$ or higher. Where as in the US you can find 5-8$ pack, and cartons as low as $30$ USD. The chart shows Canada and USA in the same price/color category. Canada has been taxing more, and price keeps going up to curb smoking. Currently trying to implement basic plain packaging. I would say alot of teens are skipping cigs and straight to vaping.
Where as many adults are quiting cigs or switching to vaping. I also know of people who increased cannabis use to cut down/stop smoking cigs. Someone else noted the effectiveness of nicotine... Which is misunderstood.
I am someone who use to smoke a pack a day, to vaping for oral fixation. My nicotine intake increased with vaping, but the satisfaction was not the same. The satisfaction in cigs comes from mix in nicotine and increase in carbon monoxide in blood stream mainly. If anyone is trying to quit, suggest reading: Alan Carr - easy way to quit smoking.
Has helped many people including myself in understanding the sensations and what little control it has over you really. |
