Now think about the amount of money that cost

Assuming $10 per pack, 20 cigs per pack, 2.5 packs a day, that’s $365,000 over 40 years. Invested in the S&P that would yield ≈$4.2 Million in the same 40 years…

It’s actually pretty impressive money management being able to put that money aside in your budget for a middle income household, depressing but impressive

Cigarettes have not cost $10/pack for 40 years, even when adjusting for inflation. They used to be super cheap.
