One of the common questions asked surrounding the topic of Nicotine Pouches is the question in title of this blog, and that’s whether or not using and buying Nicotine Pouches is actually cheaper than smoking and it’s something I’m going to explore and get to the bottom of within this blog!
I’m going to look at the current cost of smoking here in the UK, which as it stands is at the highest it’s ever been and compare it to the price of Nicotine Pouches and help you understand that choosing to buy Nicotine Pouches over cigarettes is not only a safer and healthier option, but also a much cheaper alternative as well!
The Cost Of Smoking In The UK
We’ll start off by taking a look at the current cost of smoking here in the UK. As I mentioned, the cost of smoking is currently at the highest it’s ever been, and it’s been something that has continued to rise and rise in cost each year within the budget announcements that take place.
The average price of a packet of 20 cigarettes is roughly around £12, which is astonishing to think that this is a cost that some people will be paying out every day if they are a 20 a day smoker! Adding this up, it equates to £84 a week being spent just on cigarettes. And just to put it into a bit more context, this equals over £4000 a year that someone will spend on cigarettes which is absolutely mind blowing to think that people will be spending this!
Even if somebody opted to use hand rolling tobacco, the total cost will lower down slightly, but not by much and will still be in the thousands every year being spent to smoke.
The Cost Of Nicotine Pouches
Now we move on to take a look at the cost of Nicotine Pouches, and spoiler alert, they are considerably cheaper than the cost of smoking!
The average price of a can of Nicotine Pouches is around £6, so half the price of 20 cigarettes which means we’re off to a good start here! Some brands also offer a cheaper RRP, but we will stick with the average being £6 for the basis of this blog.
Each can will normally contain around 20 pouches and going on how many used per day being around 10, each can should last you for two days at least. You may use more or less than 10 in a day, but this still means that a can will be lasting more than a day for sure. So you’re realistically only going to be spending £6 every two, maybe three days which is the ideal scenario if you’re wanting to save money!
So let’s say you’ll only be spending £18 a week on Nicotine Pouches, this is £66 less than what a 20 a day smoker spends in a week and it totals to less than £1000 a year you’ll be spending on Nicotine Pouches! A quarter of what the cost of smoking is, it’s a no brainer!
Are Nicotine Pouches Cheaper Than Smoking?
So let’s be straight forward and answer the question in topic here…yes Nicotine Pouches is considerably cheaper than what the cost of smoking is!
You can get two cans of Nicotine Pouches for the same cost of what a pack of cigarettes would cost you, and these would last you considerably longer than 20 cigarettes as well! Not only this, they are a much healthier alternative to smoking as well. So if you’re considering making the switch, do it now and not only improve your health, but also improve your bank balance as well and kick that smoking habit to the curb!
