    I'd happily pay $10 for a pack of 20 cigs - it's just that $15 is too much. If I found $1 per pack cigs I'd buy literally thousands to stock up on them, lol.

    It's weird guys go back to smoking because of girls; here I think a lot of people encourage their partners to quit ^-^;

    lol. You'd be able to stock up lots of packs especially if you use Aussie dollars when you're buying here.

    AFAIK, it goes like this for the guys here.

    1. The partner encourages her/his partner to stop so he/she stops.
    2. They get into this really big problem/mess (or in worst cases, break-up) and he/she goes back to smoking because of the stress/frustration/depression or something like that.
    3. (Optional) They eventually got their relationship back but he/she is now again having a hard time stopping since he/she got himself back to smoking.

    I also call myself a "Depression Smoker". :(

    For those who are trying to quit smoking, go to a hospital and visit people with lung cancer, and look at pictures as well. I know several people who stopped cold turkey right after that. Just my 2 cents.

    I do that too - my partner and I almost never argue but when we do I smoke a LOT more for that period; even if it's only for an hour or so, I'll smoke half a pack >.<'

    I also chain smoke when I'm coding, which is especially bad since I've started making apps.

    Ah well, there are far worse things :)

    Good for you man, but I always thought punk rockers were high more then being sober. Where did I get that misconception from.

    Yep and the worst things are yet to come, I think. :( Eeeek!

    I could've been a depression eater rather than a smoker since I'm thin guy. XD I also tend to smoke more when I'm a bit drunk or when I'm working my arse off too much with SEO and stuff.

    In this day and age, I will never understand why or how anyone would start smoking.

    November 5th will be 7 months since my husband and myself quit smoking. He has gained 50 pounds :-( I have done well Gained a few pounds in the beginning but lost that and fine with it now. I don't even crave it anymore. We both quit cold turkey and did it together

    I'm glad that I don't smoke, it's very expensive to buy a pack of cigerrette these days. I wish you guys the best of luck.
