Where Smoking Breaks The Bank (& Where It Doesn’t)<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Australia<\/a>\u00a0is the world\u2019s most expensive country in which to be a smoker, <\/strong>with one pack alone tearing a hole of almost US$26 in an Australian smoker\u2019s wallet. Australia’s neighbor New Zealand is almost as pricey with a 20 pack of Marlboros costing upwards of US$22. The third most expensive country in the ranking was Ireland, where the identical pack costs the equivalent of more than US$16, according to Numbeo.<\/a><\/p>\n

As Katharina Buchholz reports<\/a>, the most expensive countries for smokers stayed the same since 2019, with the Norway and the UK rounding off the top 5<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

France – known to be a nation not opposed to smoking – has also upped its prices from $8.88 in 2019 to $11.70 in 2021 and is now contemplating raising prices again.<\/p>\n

Cigarette prices in the U.S. have been rising more slowly – from $7.43 a pack in 2019 to $8.00 a pack in 2021 and $9.00 in 2023.<\/p>\n

Australia\u2019s, as well as New Zealand\u2019s smokers, are probably jealously eyeing Turkish people’s smoking expenses<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

There, they could get almost an entire pack of\u00a0cancer sticks<\/a>\u00a0for the price of one, meaning that Australians pay about as much for a single smoke as people in Turkey do for a whole pack.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
