    Many non-US places (otherwise known as the rest of the world) have cheap wine, cheap food, and social benefits. Cigs though idk, you’d have to be insane to smoke in most developed countries because if the cancer doesn’t kill you, the prices will.

    ::: spoiler Sorry to be so snarky but it’s a lot funnier to put it that way. :::

      True. Bit of a tangent but one issue when you have free Healthcare the cost of smoking to individuals is lower. Genuinely it’s a problem - sometimes people don’t value their health as much as they should because of ease of access to Healthcare. I’m 1000% in favour of free Healthcare, it’s just an interesting paradox.

      Public health measures focusing on increasing the cost of smoking through tax work but we don’t have the pressure to stop smoking due to the cost of Healthcare itself which can make it harder to get people to understand the effects. Meanwhile public organisations understand the cost of smoking and invest in trying to reduce it as it puts huge pressure on Healthcare systems.

      Smoking is in decline across the west but we’ve known since the 1940s and 1950s definitely that smoking is bad yet smoking rates have been persistently high in Europe until more recently - last 20 years or so.

      Smoking rates in France for example - 23% still smoke but there has been a huge decline in the last 20 years. Yet smoking was banned on public transport in the 1970s. To be clear I’m not saying it’s because of free Healthcare - just that in countries with good Healthcare systems there is more going on. People have known for 80 years smoking is bad and there has been a gradual decline but big shifts have happened surprisingly recently.

    I watched his videos a while ago and if I remember right he said that he just saved up money at his last job and was living off that. I’m also pretty sure he was living in London so definitely nothing cheap.

    Like the previous poster said, there is a whole world out there where this sort of thing is very cheap.

    In the west, everything is very expensive simply because people have the money to pay that much for it. We are working our entire lives with temporary relief now and then with overpriced alcohol. It sucks.

  • Guitarfun@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

    The same way people here do probably. Mooching off their parents/friends/spouse/government.

      mooching

      Interesting choice of words, when discussing people with mental health issues.

  Phhht amateur numbers. I have worked maybe a year in the last 25yrs and only because it was a cool job and I had some fun times. But it left me not much time for my hobbies.

  Also smokers would pay any price for their fix, no matter the income. Anything else has to be adjusted around that. I have never heard of someone quitting smoking because they can’t afford it anymore.

      I’m just a lucky fucker that doesn’t need overly much to exist. Beside an expensive hobby (smarthome and gaming and servers) I don’t need fancy houses, cars or clothes. We don’t travel much and have no kids nor pets. The latter save a lot 😁
