Questions/seeking opinions on updating article to reflect shifting price difference between NRT and cigarettes |
|||
Line 59:
In short, I was extremely surprised earlier this year to note that the "nicotine gum" was significantly less expensive than the equivalent amount of cigarettes needed by a heavy smoker over the same time frame.
Additionally, the high- and low-dose versions of each NRT generally retail at the same price (meaning that the light or moderate smoker could obtain the highest dose possible, at the same cost, and modify their usage of the NRT to further cut expenses). I'd understand if the 'modification' thing is too [[WP:OR]] to go into the article, but I think what is already there should be updated to reflect the decreasing cost of NRT vs. the increasing costs of cigarettes (presumably due to public health concerns). I brought this to the discussion page rather than just adding it myself because I'm not sure if what I've observed is typical in other areas. I'm ''also'' not sure if my calculations are relying too heavily on the fact that I smoke like a freight train transporting chimneys. Thoughts, anyone? <span style="color:darkred"><b>*Vendetta*</b> <sub>[[User:Vendettax|(whois]] [[User talk:Vendettax|talk]] [[Special:Contributions/Vendettax|edits)]]</sub></span> 06:13, 13 November 2010 (UTC)
The price quoted for a script is incorrect also, the article refer to British NHS, but the cost of a script is not uniform across all the home nations, for instance the cost of s script is cheaper in Scotland I think it is £3 and will be free from April 2011, I believe that they are free also in Wales.
