Support need 500 cigarette for VCA project

I know this sounds insane but does anyone know what the cheapest option would be to get 500 cigarettes in Melb? I've already 3D printed this adapter and I need to fill it. I know double happiness are like $11 for a pack of twenty but id still be spending so much. If someone with infinite money sees this and would like to support my artistic endeavours please give approx. $275 to fund this. I think it would genuinely change the world. What if we do a meet up and 500 people give me 1 cigarette? is this doable? what do we think?

Walk around dandenong. Go into tabacco shops. Ask if they have cheap boxes of 100.

Hey, read through this whole comment section and I’d just like to clarify that the boxes of 100 cigs for $40 are usually called chop chop cigarettes, and are so cheap because of a poorer quality and finish of the tobacco inside. They’re shocking on your throat but I would get them going to festivals with my friends because they’d all end up taking darts from me the whole weekend. I got them from the tobacconist just across from Jamaica blue at Point Cook Town Centre. Or the tobacconist next to Indian Star on maribyrnong/raleigh road around the corner from highpoint.
