    Today is National Stop Smoking Day. What were we thinking years ago???

    [​IMG]

    :eek:

    1 Pack of smokes a day for a year equals (@$4.00 per pack) $1460.00 per year.
    Go for a pack and a half a day thats $2190.00 per year.

    Live in Chicago, pay $7.00 per pack and smoke 1 and a half packs a day thats $3832.50 per year.

    Didn't know of that, but it should be National Smoking Day but rather National Smoking Year, no smoking 24/7/365 :) That will save us a lot on health premiums.

    He's right. Stop putting it off.

    Just think of the extra money you'll have to spend on alcohol or your GF or whatever ;)

    im not a smoker, but my dad used to say that it's really hard to resist it, but then if your really have the determination to stop the addiction you can make it through.

    Never tried smoking yet but I would like to try it at least once just to see what it feels like.

    Get your head right and it's a breeze to stop.

    Don't torture yourself, understand smoking provides you with nothing at all, wait until you're ready.

    Get your head right, then stop.

    I do not smoke but I think the people who smoke do not care how much money they spend on a daily / yearly basis.
