Even for a lighter smoker buying a carton is just economical

Where I live, it’s like a USD1.00 discount if you buy a carton vs however many packs are in a carton

When I worked at a gas station it was practically the same, sometimes the carton would be more expensive than 10 packs because most smokes have a 2 for 1 deal tied to them. I can't remember if it was corporate or big tobacco but one of them cracked down on it and changed the rules to where we would get in deep trouble if we sold a "loose carton".

Not at all hahaha. I only have a cig very occasionally but I used to work at a shop that sold them.

How much gas do you save making 1 trip over 10?

I doubt the celebrity was concerned about that. Well for all I know she was headed to volunteer at a homeless shelter and wanted to bring gifts. Or not but it's okay to imagine people a are good

Economical. But also saves you extra trips. If you’re trying to avoid the paparazzi and hide in your house for two weeks (partying maybe) you get the fuckin carton.
