Reciprocity

I think a carton was about $80.00 - $90.00 when I quit so they would be more now but, the people who are really paying through the nose are the people down-under. I believe they are paying $25.00 a pack there Maybe Givein can confirm that? Just goes to show, people will smoke no matter what the cost!!

I know this one ^^

New Federal Budget in Canada is out today and they are putting another $1.00/carton of 200 cigarettes on the cost. Put tax on top of that and it's even more, plus retailers tend to take these opportunities to add a little for themselves. Just in the year I have quit, there's been at least 2 increases and that price will NEVER go down - never!! It's all music to my ears of course now that I have quit and ..... even more motivation never to go back to feeding this addiction. I'm rich .... I'm rich!!

I remember one a loooooong time ago called "The Hand". Something similar I think. Just a hand that wanders around killing people - lol Pretty funny when you think about it

Sure. I'll send you a private message on how to access stuff.

LizQuit, I think you may have read the recounting I wrote the night before my 1 year quit anniversary. I wrote too about wanting to crawl out of my skin in the early days. It's both the physical and mental withdrawals at their peak trying to convince you to give in to your addiction. It's all normal. I know that doesn't make it any better or easier but you are not alone and we did get through it! You are right too in saying you never want to go through this again! The longer you stay invested, the more reason to stay that way. Yes, the anger, anxiety in the early days is overwhelming at times but it doesn't last. The benefits you will start to notice will last. I bet you don't stink of stale cigarette smoke anymore - right? You're sense of smell is probably already starting to wake up again. You're right! Focus on the positives. The negatives are very short lived
