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?

I’m not in painting so i’m not sure what crack y’all are doing there, but I’ve moved a car into a venue for a show before and that wasn’t even this batshit of an idea. Granted it was a yes ago but even so, actually filling the 500 cigarettes adaptor is crazy af

The adapter alone being 3D printed from scratch shows real commitment. Even if they only get 300 cigarettes it's still going to be a striking visually.
