I can buy a pack of cigaretts today for R42.00. But what did they cost a year ago today,or a year befor that. Does anyone have any history of the costs?
 
My first smoke as a VERY young laaitie was back in the days when 555 and Gold Dollar was still around, Those days they were around 42c a packet, and we still had R1 notes and 1/2c coins.
I can't remember what they cost when I started smoking permanently years later, but when I stopped about 2 years ago, Camel Ones was around R30 at normal retail outlets and R35 at most of the One Stop or other fuel station shops.
 
My average usage in e-liquids a day is about 8ml. Now that I’m making my own the cost to me is R10.00 a day (capital expenditure ignored for now). Compare this to R84.00 per day smoking cigarettes. Add to this the health benefits and the fact that my home environment is so much cleaner I can’t understand why there are people out there that want to stop me vaping or TAX me for this.
