In some parts of Europe tobacco is insanely expensive. (I don't know about Canada, but perhaps there too.) The warning labels on them are huge here as well, covering like 60% of the package and warn you about everything from cancer to impotence. 15 dollars is still
a lot. The country I live in has the
most expensive cigarettes in the world, a pack will cost you roughly 8 euro (around 12 US dollars according to Yahoo Finance) on average. (Of course, buying them at small shops or gas stations will generally be more expensive)
Smoking is also prohibited in bars and restaurants, so the government has done just about everything in their power to discourage people from smoking.
Still, a lot of people pick up the habit.
