jeremysgirl I am so proud of you!! I remember when you mentioned a few weeks ago that you hadn't had a cigarette in xx days. I didn't feel that I should ask how you've been going, so I am really glad to hear about your success. As a reformed smoker, I know how hard it is to give up! A question for you..... how much does a packet and a carton of cigarettes cost in the US these days? I am so glad that I was able to give up decades ago, because there is no way I could afford to smoke these days. One packet costs about $50 to $60 here, and a carton is several hundred dollars!!! That's about $33 - $40 USD. I don't know many people who smoke these days, but those who do are buying illegal tobacco under the counter so they can afford to smoke.

A pack of 20 at my gas station is $8.20. so expensive but not near as expensive as you guys are. I'm embarrassed to say that it cost me about $300 per month to smoke. That is $300 worth of hobby stuff I bought.
