Being a dedicated smoker
or not, have you ever wondered which are the cheapest places to buy cigarettes
in the world? It is an interesting question since tobacco and cigarette prices
are generally on the rise globally.
Yes, there are health
consequences of smoking (as well as alcohol, unhealthy diet and unhealthy
lifestyle in general). Governments are putting efforts in reducing number of
smokers by many means: rising taxes on tobacco which consequentially rises the
prices, banning smoking on public places, banning cigarette advertisement etc…
But tobacco was being used since 4000 of years ago among the peoples of South America, being chewed or smoked. In these cultures, smoking, and use of tobacco and other psychoactive substances, in general, was of the ritual importance and was consumed by shamans. It was of course introduced to the rest of the world when American continent was “discovered” by Europeans in the 15th century when the mass production and cultivation of tobacco started. Even though there are more ways of tobacco use than smoking, such as sniffing or chewing, the most common way of tobacco use remained in the shape of cigarettes.
Since the smoking and
tobacco (and alcohol and other psychoactive substance use in general) have been
in human society for such a long time as part of culture, it is hard to
eliminate these habits from people’s lives.
But, as it is to be
expected, high income countries are doing better job when it comes to minimizing
the cigarette selling and use. On the other hand, cigarettes are way more
affordable in low and middle income countries, as well as the alcohol, and
hence these countries have more health issues related to tobacco and alcohol.
But anyway, health consequences
of tobacco use are not in our focus now. We are here to investigate where you
can buy the cheapest cigarettes. So, for that matter we have found for you a
choice of 10
Cheapest Places to Buy Cigarettes in the World.
