So at the end of January i decided to cash in and these are what i bought by just slowing down big time on smoking.............

I've been wasting money for several years on smoking and have little to show for it except a few upholstery burns and a reduced lung capacity.

That is an impressive bit of glass there, much better than a pile of cigarette butts and empty packs, anyway. Thanks for putting the cost of smoking in terms that I can understand.

Thats just if you smoke one a day, i no some people that are like 2 1/2 packs a day. 4000 dollars a year. I saved about 150 dollars a month for these bottles over the past 5 months. I am going to keep doing it. Smokers if they quit and do the same as me they can buy them selves a nice car 150 dollars a month is just about a car payment? Think about its nuts

Status: offline 		Congratulations, its  great that you are down to 2-3 cigarettes a day, since you are down to just a few cigarettes you should stop completely...  I once was a one pack a day smoker, today I can say that I kick the habit, wasn't easy but it was the best thing I ever did for myself, beside saving about 200 a month (premium cigarettes in Hawaii is around 7.00),  I also changed my eating habits eating more healthy since I stop smoking, eating more fish, salad and brown rice, staying away from sodas and fried foods has help keep the weight down, also making a point to dig at least once a week for my exercise...   aloha Earl

I work at the local national chain drugstore nextdoor to the Chevron station downtown. Our cig packs are anywhere from $4.80 per pack to almost $6.00 a pack and we're the cheapest in town. We've got all kinds of regulars buying their favorite brands. Cigs can help your life and they can end your life.
