G’day NOPE .....Not One Puff Ever.... (replace Ever with Min,Hour, Day as required)

Freedom from being smelly and stupid. And self-serving. Can’t forget that.

Gday US $8 is about Au $12 a packet. Cigs in aust were $25 a packet when I quit 8 1/2 years ago. They are now. Get this…….. $56.00 a packet of 30. I couldn’t find the brand I used to smoke either. Good riddance!

NOPE!!

NOPE!!

NOPE!

I didnt make it. Lost my quit. I said to myself I was brainwashing myself into the issue. I said, mentally, <this not wanting to smoke is myself brainwashing myself>. For i didnt know the reason why I wanted to quit. So i considered it being brainwashing myself. And so i then smoked. Now im holding a cigarette butt with some odd reasoning that ill stop. Again.

I live in North Carolina which, along with neighboring Virginia, usually ranks in the top 2 states in the United States for tobacco production. We are also the home of RJ Reynolds, or whatever it is they call themselves now. Not surprisingly, the tobacco industry and lobby has played a big role in preventing the state from inacting a lot of anti-smoking legislation as quickly as other states (higher cigarette taxes, mandatory non-smoking offices/restaurants, etc.) We have those now but adopted them later than a lot of the rest of the country. From what I understand, our cigarette taxes and prices in general are still lower than the national average. The other day, I saw the cost of my former favored brand of cigarettes (a common name brand) was $8 a pack. In 2014, when I quit, it was around $4 something on average. If $8 for a pack of cigarettes is low by US standards, I couldn't imagine paying $10 or more for a product that does nothing but kill people.

Johnny ..I couldn’t believe the price of a pocket of cigarettes now …£13 pds something ..and that wasn’t the best ones… I honestly don’t know how folks can afford to smoke ..specially if it’s 2 pkts a day ….crazy money …

Freedom sums it up well. My life doesn't revolve around when I can get my next nicotine fix. I have more money. I recently looked at the cost of my old brand of cigarettes when I was at a grocery store and 1 pack costs about twice as much as it used to when I smoked. I feel healthier now at age 48 than I did at 39 when I still smoked. I hid the fact that I was a smoker from some people but now realize that there is no way they couldn't have known I was a smoker. I just feel better physically, emotionally, and financially.

Freedom!!!!!! I smell good! I can breathe! No more lies. $$$ have y’all seen the recent prices???

I completely agree! Along with setting fire to your hair trying to light up! Some old reminders of why we quit … Why don’t you add yours x

How are you doing @Breath-of-Power? I do hope that you were able to hang on to that exceptional quit you have going.

But i do think im diferent!!!
