We all know that cigarettes are expensive. They’re taxed beyond belief, and can quickly burn a hole in your back pocket if you’re not careful with your cash. For many, the price alone can be enough of a motivator to prompt them to quit or look for more affordable alternatives. E-cigarettes are, in many ways, a logical step to quit smoking without going cold turkey or having to give up a much-loved pastime. Health-wise, there are obvious benefits. Aesthetically, there are plenty. But, at the end of the day, are you actually saving any more by choosing e-cigs over traditional cigarettes?
The price of smoking is obviously dependent on the amount one smokes and the brand he/she buys. To find out what the average pack-a-day smoker was spending on their bad habit, The AWL compiled a list of the average cost of smoking according to the US states based on the much loved Marlboro Reds. In their 2015 article, they calculated that the average cost for a pack of Marlboro Red across the US was $7.26, ranging from $4.98 in Virginia up to $13.50 in New York. For a pack-a-day smoker, this puts the average annual cost at about $2,650, or anywhere from $1,818 to $4,928, according to your location.
Calculating the average cost of vaping is, however, much more difficult. The amount you spend on vaping each year can vary dramatically, and, generally speaking, the type of product you choose will largely impact those costs. The higher-power devices, for example, tend to be paired with more efficient tanks and atomizers. Thus, resulting in greater amounts of e-juice use.
However, based on the pack-a-day average of a traditional cigarette smoker, our Logic Platinum Label Power Series Refill-Cartomizers offer unbeatable savings. Each cartridge offers up to 400 puffs. That is the equivalent of 2 packs of smokes each. Sold in 3-pack units at an average of $11.99, that works out to be an amazing $1.99 per theoretical cigarette pack; almost a third of the cost of the average Marlboro Red pack.
| Average cigarettes cost in the USA |
Logic Power Series Refill Cartomizers or Logic Pro eLiquid Capsules |
|
|---|---|---|
| One pack | $7.26 | $1.199 |
| Yearly cost (one pack a day) | $2,650 | ($729 + $9.79) = $738.79 |
| Total yearly savings | $0 | $1911.21 |
Now, take that $1.99 and multiply it by the 365 days of the year and you’re still only sitting at a ridiculously low $729. Paired with our always affordable bestsellers, the Logic Disposable Electronic Cigarettes, which retail for a discounted $9.36 and only require a 1-time purchase for years of happy puffing, you’ll be looking at a price tag of $739 for an entire year of vaping (plus a free cartridge that comes with the kit). Compared to a year of smoking, you can save an average of over $1,900 by vaping! If you live in a higher-cost area, your savings can reach as much as $4,200 per year. Imagine what you could do with that much extra cash in your pocket.
Alternatively, for our more upscale vapers, the Logic Pro Advanced Vapor System Starter Kit offers a sleek, metallic vaping pen, a rechargeable battery, a USB charger wall charger, and patent-pending disposable capsule technology for as low as $24.01 – the price of 3 average cigarette packs for years of high-class vaping. E-cig lovers everywhere can rejoice in the savings and smoke happily knowing that they’re spending only a fraction of a penny per puff.
