15 years ago I was smoking 3 packs a day. Extrapolate today's prices over a year. OMG!!! You guys who never tried, my hat's off to ya. I needed the ordeal, I guess.
Gattafish, nicotine is an addictive drug that is intensified bu the tobacco companys. They want loyal customers to friggin stay loyal. Drug pushers, they are , and no more. The US government is a full partner in this tradgedy. They up the taxes, knowing that won't end the addiction. And they accept billions from big tobacco in the for of a settlement that was supposed to cover the health problems associated with smoking. What a farce. Then there are the subsidies to grow or not to grow, whatever the political climate is this week, does't matter the money flows and the customer dies after suffering a good long time.

same here .. 3 packs a day maybe 17 yrs. ago .. I didn't want to smoke ... quit about 10 times before I finally quit for good .. I've quit other stuff .. Nothing compares to nicotine addiction .. They say Heroin .. I believe them .. Best thing I ever did .. Good luck to you guys that drop the habit . Be strong ,, don't let your guard down .. its worth it ..
