Comparing the Cost of E-Cigarettes to Tobacco Cigarettes. Although many smokers in the United States pay far more than this, the average price of a pack of cigarettes is about $5.50 after all of the necessary taxes are applied.

If you live in a more expensive smoking state such as Hawaii, the yearly cost is closer to $3,500. By comparison, it costs around $800 per year to use e-cigarettes, including the cost of your first starter kit and the occasional need to buy new accessories such as atomizers and batteries.
