That tears it! I'm not reading any more of these! 
They celebrated your birth by having you circumcised.
Aren't you glad they used cake every year after that?
I'm pretty sure I would not like to live in a world in which I would never be offended.

I'm not a heavy smoker but saving $1500+ a year is definitely something to work towards.

Plus not dying young is a big plus. My wife's father smoked like a chimney and died at 57 of lung cancer.
In addition, I am told, food tastes better and you can smell flowers and things. I never smoked myself so I can't verify that part. However, after living in Germany for six years where everyone, it seemed, smoked, I developed a smoker's cough which, after 25+ years, has finally gone away. So giving up smoking is a public health improvement, not just your own.
I applaud you for trying, stick with it. I am told the first couple of weeks are the hardest.

Almost $5 a day up in smoke is not that far from "heavy smoker", in my view...

I've known smokers that could smoke over two packs a day and I thought that was excessive. It makes my 12-16 smokes a day pale in comparison.

It's $7 a pack here and that's at a tobacco shop. The price at gas stations and convenience stores is upwards of $9. And the cost here is 70% tax to boot (which govm't increases every couple of years). It's like they want their taxpayers to live longer

You lucky, lucky bastard.
I don't smoke but my Missus does and I've had the luxury of paying for them for many years of the marriage.
When we started going out in 1988 you could buy a carton of 10 packets of 25 Winfield (well known brand) for aout AUD$20.00. Now for a single packet of 40's of Horizon, Bonds etc (never existed < 2000) will now set you back about AUD$41.00.
Stupid elephanting elephanter didn't start till 19 and watched her Grandmother get her voice box removed in the 70's from throat cancer and from 1998 to 2013 when he died watched her Father live through years of Emphysema, oxygen tanks and looking like an emaciated AIDS victim.
Give 'em up, waste of elephanting time.

That's $30 USD a pack!!  They don't even pay that much in New York. The misses is going to make you bankrupt at those prices.

It's one of the hardest things you'll ever do but the rewards are enormous.
After a couple of weeks you'll start feeling better, food tastes better and you'll be able to breathe better.
Good luck...stick with it!

Thanks. It's my first time actually trying to quit long term. I do quit every day for about 8 whole hours.

Yup. I even manage to go over an hour after waking up sometimes before I would light up my first for the day.

I started in the 60s and we didn't know the dangers then. When I was in the military cigs came with c-rations and the stress I was under at the time made it impossible to quit.
Yes it's the stupidest thing I've ever done but I did quit! Been about 7-8 years now!

I started smoking in AIT when the unwritten rule was that while in formation (at ease) you were required to have your SMART book OR a cigarette in your hand. After a few weeks, I had memorized the book and started bumming cigs. 
I plan to quit soon.
