Be thankful you don't live in Australia. Here a pack of 40 smokes will run you around $12.50 a pop (about $7 of which is in taxes). Allowing for the current exchange rate of around US$0.89 to A$1.00 that's about $11 in american currency. Suddenly your $684.38 has become just over $2000 a year ($2007.50, to be exact) and your ass is flat broke all the time from trying to buy cigarettes...
