Good reasons not to smoke cigarettes:

1) Smoking destroys your health, as well as the health of your family and pets.

2) They tax cigarettes to pay for government BS. I hate government BS.

3) A pack of smokes costs 5$ now. A dollar was too expensive when I started.

4) The tobacco companies manipulate their product. The tobacco you can grow yourself is nothing like the stuff they sell.

5) Smoking turns your teeth yellow, your lungs black, and makes everything you own stink.

6) Fewer chicks smoke these days.

Congratulations on those of you who have given it up. For everyone that's trying to quit, good luck. If you still like to smoke, then tell everyone to kiss your ass. It's your life. If you live north of VA, PM me. I can come up there with cheap smokes for a fee. Don't waste my time with low ball amounts though.

I'm taking the $5 a day I spent on smoking and sticking it in a shoe box and after a year I'll have around $1800. I also dump my change in the same shoe box which averages around $2.00 everyday so I'm saving around $2300 a year which we will use to fund our vacations. I know it sounds dumb to save money this way but it works and its like found money at the end of the year.

I've tried that but I always dip in the jar for toll money.

I've been doing the change thing for about five years now and usually end up with around $400 or so after the year. We take some of the money and go out to a very nice place to eat and take the balance and by something for us around chriatmas.

Get some ginseng and take one capsule per day. It won't eliminate cravings but it sure will reduce them. Ginseng is better than Chantix because it does not have the nasty side-effects and is all-natural. Ginseng is a quitter's best friend.

I'm using Chantix now and its working great for me. It should at around $130 for 4 weeks worth. I'm going to stick with chantix for 2 months and then I might try ginseng for an additional few months just in case. Other then getting a little dehydrated I have not any side effects.
