Exaggerate much? Assuming two packs a day and five bucks per pack, he’d save about $300 per month and could afford a luxurious $700 per month apartment.
Big assumption. I make my own for 10 a carton.
You are defending taxpayers subsidizing his rent when he clearly has disposable income?!
Even with your assumptions, we are talking about thousands of dollars. $10 day x 365 days (most years), $3,650 a year. (That's 'thousands of dollars',) So what you call exaggeration, most folks would call clear facts.
Oh come on. A lot of “poor” people know enough to roll their own. It costs me $27. a month to smoke about a pack a day. I’m 74 and healthy as a horse. And not obese from quitting.
