Just a fun mind experiment I've made. I used to smoke 1 to 2 packs a day. A pack costs 150-250 Russian Roubles. Let's say 300 roubles a day. So every year smoking would cost me: 300 * 365 = 110,000 roubles per year. This sum of money buys me: 10 x Fomapan 400 10 x Ilford Delta 3200 10 x Kodak UltraMax 400 10 x Portra 800 AND 40 x rolls developed and scanned by the best lab in a highest quality possible This is actually mind blowing to me, since film is expensive. This is 480 shots of 120 6x6 film (a small amount of pictures) or a whopping 1440 pictures of 35mm film. Heck, you can throw away some rolls and fit a classic mint condition camera WITH lens in this budget. Now, this is just my calculation, you're welcome to plug in your favorite film stocks. If film isn't your thing and you're fighting an addiction, maybe try to apply this experiment to your favourite hobby.
