  11. @Reciprocity I read that up in your area of the Niagara Region you will get to see 100% totality. That is going to be so amazing for you to see. Down here in NY City, we may get a bit, but nothing of what you will experience. You have to tell us all about it!!

And the countdown to multiple NOPES from New Orleans has started.. 14 days to Crawfish, Crawfish, Crawfish, Shrimp Po Boys, Etouffee, Gumbo, Monday morning breakfast with red beans and rice and the infamous porkchop side. Maybe some Blue crab and just a couple Sazaracks. A week of fried food, hmmm I hope my cardiologist doesn't catch drift of this one! I'll bring extra Nitro.

  15. Gday You can buy cigs at less and less places but supermarkets and gas stations still sell them. There are lots of little “tobacco” stores popping up. They sell Vaps …illegal now. They sell under the counter smuggled cigarettes cut price compared to the locally taxed stuff. Every now and then you hear of them burning down. They are run by criminals of course and they have turf wars. Crazy but it’s not that the nicotine addiction is now attracting the criminal element.

  17. Gday US $8 is about Au $12 a packet. Cigs in aust were $25 a packet when I quit 8 1/2 years ago. They are now. Get this…….. $56.00 a packet of 30. I couldn’t find the brand I used to smoke either. Good riddance!

  18. I live in North Carolina which, along with neighboring Virginia, usually ranks in the top 2 states in the United States for tobacco production. We are also the home of RJ Reynolds, or whatever it is they call themselves now. Not surprisingly, the tobacco industry and lobby has played a big role in preventing the state from inacting a lot of anti-smoking legislation as quickly as other states (higher cigarette taxes, mandatory non-smoking offices/restaurants, etc.) We have those now but adopted them later than a lot of the rest of the country. From what I understand, our cigarette taxes and prices in general are still lower than the national average. The other day, I saw the cost of my former favored brand of cigarettes (a common name brand) was $8 a pack. In 2014, when I quit, it was around $4 something on average. If $8 for a pack of cigarettes is low by US standards, I couldn't imagine paying $10 or more for a product that does nothing but kill people.

  20. Freedom sums it up well. My life doesn't revolve around when I can get my next nicotine fix. I have more money. I recently looked at the cost of my old brand of cigarettes when I was at a grocery store and 1 pack costs about twice as much as it used to when I smoked. I feel healthier now at age 48 than I did at 39 when I still smoked. I hid the fact that I was a smoker from some people but now realize that there is no way they couldn't have known I was a smoker. I just feel better physically, emotionally, and financially.

About us

QuitTrain®, a quit smoking support community, was created by former smokers who have a deep desire to help people quit smoking and to help keep those quits intact.  This place should be a safe haven to escape the daily grind and focus on protecting our quits.  We don't believe that there is a "one size fits all" approach when it comes to quitting smoking.  Each of us has our own unique set of circumstances which contributes to how we go about quitting and more importantly, how we keep our quits.
