Vaping vs Smoking: A Complete Cost Comparison for 2025

The Numbers

With cigarette prices continuing to rise globally, more smokers are considering the switch to vaping. But is it actually cheaper? We ran the numbers for 2025.

Smoking Costs

In the US, a pack-a-day smoker spends approximately $2,800–$3,600 per year depending on state taxes. In the UK, the figure is even higher at roughly £4,000–£5,000 annually.

Vaping Costs

A typical disposable vape user spending $15–$20 per device every 3–5 days spends $1,100–$2,400 per year. Pod system users with refillable devices can reduce this to $600–$1,200 annually.
