Quit Smoking Calculator: How Much Can You Save with Therapeutic Vapes?

Last updated: 12 February 2025

Today, a pack of cigarettes can cost you about $40 per 20-pack, setting a pack-a-day smoker back over $14,500 every year.

Over just a couple of years, that’s a brand new car up in smoke.

In comparison, therapeutic vapes from your local pharmacy only cost about $12.50 per cartridge (roughly equal to 20 cigarettes in terms of ‘puffs’), which will usually last between 1 and 3 days.

This means that a pack-a-day smoker can save over $10,000 in just one year.
