The Cost of Smoking in Canada
Cigarette prices in Canada are among the highest in the world. As of 2026, a pack of 25 cigarettes costs $16-20 depending on province. For a pack-a-day smoker, that is $5,000-7,000 per year.
The Cost of Vaping With Disposables
Using North Nicotine pricing and real-world puff counts:
Geekbar Pulse X (25K puffs, $39.99): At 300-400 puffs per day (equivalent to pack-a-day), one device lasts 60-80 days. About $0.50-0.67 per day.
Elfbar MoonNight or Ice King (40K puffs, $44.99): Lasts 100-130 days at the same usage. About $0.35-0.45 per day.
Geekbar Pulse (15K puffs, $34.99): Lasts 35-50 days. About $0.70-1.00 per day.
Annual Cost Comparison
A pack-a-day smoker spending $18/day ($6,570/year) switching to an Elfbar MoonNight at $0.40/day ($146/year) saves over $6,400 per year.
Even the most expensive vaping option (Geekbar Pulse at ~$1/day) saves over $5,800 per year compared to a pack-a-day habit.
Why 5% Makes the Difference
At 2% nicotine, many former smokers chain-vape to get satisfaction — going through a device in 3-5 days. At 5%, fewer puffs satisfy the craving, which means each device lasts dramatically longer.
The Convenience Store Trap
Most Canadian vapers buy from convenience stores at $45-55 per device. At North Nicotine, the same devices start at $34.99. That is $10-20 savings per device plus free shipping on 2+.
