When I stopped smoking more than 10 years ago I immediately had a surplus of 300 EUR free cash per month. Two packs a day at 5 EUR per pack at that time.

Being healthier, not stinking like a wet ash tray and having more and better sex are other features of stopping smoking.

How did stopping smoking lead to getting to have sex?

[-] ladicius@lemmy.world 15 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

More active, more attractive, more fun with harder boner*.

*Seriously. Smoking does something with your blood flow that does not help with erections.

[-] Semi_Hemi_Demigod@lemmy.world 7 points 10 months ago

Nicotine constricts blood vessels, and since boners need blood flow it will be harder to get hard, and if you do you won't get as hard.

Wow that's insane, even if it's "just" about $20 in USD for the cheapest packs at $30 NZD.

[-] Ilovethebomb@lemm.ee 5 points 10 months ago

Basically prepaying your chemo.

Are the taxes even earmarked to healthcare?

[-] wreckedcarzz@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago

No silly, it's your lungs and heart, not your ears

[-] Ilovethebomb@lemm.ee 0 points 10 months ago

No, that's just what I say to people who gripe about it.

[-] ben_dover@lemmy.ml 2 points 10 months ago

in Austria you can still get them for around 6 bucks. i recently got a pack in Macedonia for €2.50

Wow! Is there a big black market for cigarettes in NZ? And have these prices lead to a lower consumption?

[-] Ilovethebomb@lemm.ee 7 points 10 months ago

Yes to both, it has unfortunately led to an increase in crime, because they're so readily stolen. It has definitely led to a decrease in smoking as well, as a lot of smokers quit for financial reasons.

It's perfectly legal to grow your own, interestingly enough, but not many people do.

[-] Akasazh@feddit.nl 2 points 10 months ago

Growing it isn't easy. Also you need to dry them a long time.

[-] wreckedcarzz@lemmy.world 4 points 10 months ago

buries like 20 cigarettes

sprays water on the mound

by spring I'll be rolling in the dough!

[-] Akasazh@feddit.nl 3 points 10 months ago

When the filter tree grows instead of the nicotine plant you'll be looking a fool

[-] Valk@lemmy.world 4 points 10 months ago

Not really a black market for cigarettes here but you can grow your own tobacco legally if you really want to go down that road. Smoking tobacco in younger generations is very rare but vaping on the other hand is very popular. The government was touting a "smokefree by X" date that kept moving back as the dates came closer.
