Good lord.

Single handedly you'll bring the cigarette companies to the poverty line.

876.36 would probably last me over 5 years....;p

That's only just over 2 packs a day, about what I was smoking before I quit.

How many for you Jafo, per day?

Probably average about 7 a week....

Cigarettes, not packs....;)

I am 26 now and started smoking when I was 18....it's almost 8 yrs. now and during this whole period, my cigarette consumption kept increasing. Since january this year, I almost started smoking about 20 cig's per day......recently I just discovered some cuts on my tongue, though i haven't shown myself to any physician yet, but certainly limited myself to only 1 cigarette per day and plan to quit it completely by the next week....also I read about it on the internet, that quitting cig's and rinsing the mouth with warm saline water can cure this problem in a few weeks, if it does'nt then i shall be visiting a doctor.

I'm 64, smoked since I was 11 and have been tobacco free now for 45 days. boy do I miss it.

Damn...why bother? Unless they're really big smokes.....

They're rollies .... so typically smaller...;)

The longest I can recall having a pack last [they were tailor-mades] was bought during the Superbike weekend....and still had some left at the MotoGP.

The SBK is in February....the Moto is in October ....;)

My 'control' of addiction isn't for everyone....I'd suggest you don't try to follow my example....just quit outright.

The idea of 'taking them or leaving them' usually doesn't work...;)

Elsius Saint wins big

I just saved ...$... by switching to non-smoking

When you think you're missing it gmc2, take a really deep breath, and then think about it.  If you were still smoking you would probably be hacking afterward.  I quit 11 years ago, cold turkey and never went back. It's all in the mindset.

Yeah, if I smoked one, I'd be right back at it full time.

c cancer sticks not smoked, m amount of money saved over my lifetime of not smoking.

I don't smoke, I skin : one addiction is enough

Same here Jim, I'm all or nothing!

Never did smoke. I had a small sign I'd hang up every time I was assigned a new vehicle that summed up what I thought of it too. "I don't mind if you smoke if you don't mind if I shit in your shoe" Don't think those unfortunate enough to get a ride in my "cab" appreciated the humor though.

35 years

1 to 2 packs a day

Average of 1.75 packs a day

Tried hypnosis ..worked for 6 months

Tried the patch ...smoked with it and ended up in ER

Tried gum, chantix, acupuncture, etc etc

Talk about quitting or even think about it and I have to light up. Guarantee I will smoke 2 to 2.5 packs a day for a week.

Yesterday, November 1st 2012 at 10:30pm....one whole week, smoke free, cold turkey. Eating everything in sight and then some.

LOL.....good luck, Noah!  You can do eet!!

Like most things in life Po you will be able to stop when you want to stop, not before.  Just my personal opinion mind you but it's more than likely why folks do have a hard time attempting to stop smoking.  I smoked, not all that long mind you 12 or 13 years while in the Military.  I was able to quite and finished my career as a non-smoker.  Now drinking.....well that was a whole nother problem. 

Best of luck Noah!!  We're here for you!!! 

Good luck!

Here's a couple of early positives you can hopefully focus on which you might already be having:

Isn't it nice to be able to actually breathe through your nose again?

Bet food is already tasting better (or worse, but at least "more")

Hopefully going up and down steps is a little easier already.  Heck, you might even be able to go outside and run a block.

Go Po' go.

Go Po! Remember, it's all in your mind.... I quit cold turkey 12 years ago and never went back. You can do it!

  Phenomenal, your giving yourself an extra ten years of quality life and nice breath.   WooHoo  Go Po Go   

It will have been a full 3 years for me on January 15 2013... when I went cold turkey and just stopped.  I had tried back in 2007, and managed to be smoke free for 9 months, but I went through a difficult period of anxiety and depression and foolishly started again.  Fortunately it was only for 6 months or so before I stopped again... and succeeded.

Anyhow, Po, you go for it, man, you'll be happier and healthier for it... not to mention having more money in your back pocket.

5 or 6 for me.....since quitting...I lost track.

I think 6, in May of 2013.

Po....you've saved yourself about $100 in a week.....$5,200 in a year ....that's a couple of return flights from Oz to the US.

It's all about the money.....;)
