Helpful Tips
To find the lowest price for your favorite cigarettes set your brand under the preferences section and set your distance to the maximum number of miles you wish to search within.
Then press the "Find Cheapest Prices" button at the top.
Once you have the results displayed don't forget you can scroll down for more results. At this point you can select a location for more options such as, "update prices", "map" and "call".
Some Android devices GPS feature doesn't function as well as others. If the app is having trouble determining your GPS location, try killing the app and turning off GPS and then turn GPS back on and re-launch the app. If the problem persists try power cycling your device.
We are counting on the users to update your brands prices. If you see $0.00, it means that no one has yet updated the price for your brand at that location.
When entering a new price, DO NOT include tax. Price before tax only. Everyone is encouraged to update prices and locations but please do not intentionally put incorrect information or you will be banned from using the app.
Please keep in mind Smoking Buddy is very new and still updating our databases with locations and pricing, please assist us in collecting information before leaving a negative review on the Play Store.
If you wish to add a location that sells cigarettes, you must create an account, sign in, and press the "Add Location" button you may then search for you brand, find it at that location and change the price!
If you do not see any results in your search radius please email us with your current zip code and we will update prices and stores in your area as soon as possible.

This app is the worst!! Literally searched 13 different blends and none of them had more than 2 prices listed for a 50 mile radius. I'm not going to drive 50 miles for a pack of cigarettes but even at that range this app couldnt help me find anything! I did go to the closest store for my cigs (5.2 miles away) and got they and the cigarettes were $1.39 more expensive than what the app said...so in short....they dont give you any prices and when they do they lie! Do the world a favor and delete yourself from the market and the world

This app seems based on the same concept as gas buddy which is supported by the community. We just need people to check out their local gas stations and other places that sells cigs to update the app data base.

Worthless! My brand Misty Menthol 120 not listed and not one price listed for any brands I checked. Would have to have people like gas buddy who actually enter prices in our area.

I'm insanely disappointed with this app I was so excited for the concept of it however I continuously would attempt to update pricing and everything said 0.00 dollars.if you're going to have an app do it right or don't do it at all

Was in Missouri and it told me to go to a dollar general on Mercer Street, a while later I was in Tulsa it told me to go to the same exact place. App doesn't work at all. Uninstalling immediately.

Doesn't even list any American spirit brands, prices aren't listed for any other brands that you can select from. Completely useless.

It's like GasBuddy. They need users to add the prices at their local store on a regular basis. This lets other users, plus yourself, know what the most up to date prices are. It's community driven.

Good concept but the app didn't list any prices, but it did show 3 stores where my brand is supposedly cheap at. Wish the app gave me prices too so I could pick the best deal. Will be uninstalling.

How am I supposed to know the prices if they're never listed? Plus, no Marlboro 27's? They extensively list every brand besides Marlboro. I guess it wouldn't matter though, the prices still are no where to be found.

Great idea but you seriously need to fix your brand list. You are missing a lot of popular brands including mine, Kamel Reds. I ll try this again in awhile if you have my brand but until then it's kinda useless.

Sounds great, but for me, that is all. No information except store distance, no pricing, no phone numbers, everything is blank. I can use my maps app to find stores and see how far they are from me. Total waste of time!
