New smoking restrictions in Washington. Oh boy!

Well, if you figure one month of rent in low income housing is $250, and cigarettes are $80 a carton here, and a heavy smoker smokes 3 cartons a month, that's only $240 per month they'd save, which isn't enough for an apartment, let alone bills and food.
But that is a good point. It's close, very close indeed.

$240 saved from smoking, plus the $250 they were already paying for rent. Do apartments really cost more than $490 a month out there? That's enough for a house in most parts of Michigan.
