I was waiting for DH in a Sam's Club. I think it is similar to a CostCo, only difference is that it is owned by Walmart.

I used their bathroom and as I was going out, I saw a chained off area where the cigarettes are now kept. So I stopped by to see what a carton of cigarettes are going for now.

When DH and I quit, a carton was $10, it took about a week to smoke.

I was amazed it cost about $50 now.

That is expensive!

There is talk about increasing the tax on sugary drinks. Thank goodness I gave that up long ago as well. I now cannot stand the taste of soda, diet or regular.

But that is just me. I know how hard it is to quit smoking and I was never one that particularly liked smoking after I turned 20 or so, just addicted. It was a nice social activity at first.

I think the e-cigarette is amazing. Is it hard to convert from regular? It is different in taste, right?
