That's 40 bucks a day. Do you know how much produce I could buy for 40 bucks a day.
A lot of carrots, spinach, broccoli, etc.
I'd be juicing day and night!!! lol
No, seriously, that's a lot of savings, if you stop smoking.
I can't do the math that quickly, by 40 bucks times 7 days a week.
Well, IT'S A LOT OF MONEY!!
You can take the money, go see a show, go on vacation, WHATEVER!!!!
And the lungs will thank you for that!!
so congrats to ANYBODY who quits!!!!

Good grief! That's crazy! Why isn't alcohol just as expensive? It does just as much damage. Though I know there are differences. Most people don't get addicted to alcohol like they do cigarettes. Sigh. But my gosh! 10.00 a pack?!?
I live in the south and this is probably one of the cheapest places to buy cigarettes. A pack of Marlboro's are still only about 2.89 a pack or there abouts, maybe a bit more. I was buying cheap ones and they were 20.57 a carton.
It finally hit me this afternoon. I realised that I really truly did quit smoking. I never thought I'd be able to do it. I thought I'd smoke til the day I died. Thank God for miracles. It is for me anyway.
