        interesting & weird since tobacco is exhorbitantly expensive. How can poor people afford it?

          Maybe you swapped the cause and effect. Instead of “How do poor people smoke” you could ask “Why are smokers poor”.

          And then you’ve already answered your question

            One problem causes the other until it’s impossible to determine which problem came first. It’s a snake eating its own tail.

          They take on more crushing debt, steal, beg, lie.

          Look at the stats on smoking and income in Canadian provinces. The two are like inverse of each other.
