+1 Yeah OK - I suppose lol.

I think I was at about $5,000.00 for my 1st year!! No wonder the wife suddenly has all those fancy clothes

Hey Lily and welcome to our family of quitters. I was the same as you 1 year ago. Sick, coughing fits due to my cold and still going out into the snow and cold to smoke! Crazy!! I stopped because I knew that same scene would keep repeating itself over and over until I quit for good. It IS doable Lily. Stick around here and educate yourself about this addiction. Knowledge is key to quitting for good. This is an addiction and you have to outsmart it with knowledge. It will try and lure you back in many ways but you CAN beat it. Go to the NOPE pledge page and pledge your nope every day. Take this 1 hour and one day at a time for now. Lots of new quitters here to share your journey with. Welcome again

OO (Way too many around here ...............)

Oh Damn .... another CHICK!! OO

If you understand them - you need to go get your head checked

Compared to trying to understand some of Bakon's posts, you peeps will be no problem

You're more than welcome to join us here on the train Jo! We have a nice plush seat in first class (the bar car) so just buckle yourself in. We will let you know when we reach our destination, which is Freedomville!!

^^ I actually saw a pay phone the other day!! Wonder how much you have to put in to get a dial tone these days?

Chicks were washing up after dinner I guess OO

Welcome - you are good to go now my friend. Great place with supportive people and , a lot of your old friends too Glad you didn't lose your quit too!! I think I posted something about that in the "curse thread" the other day? (Off The Record page at the bottom main board)

^^^ I remember those (vending machines )

You are almost a month in now so yes, those cravings should be getting a little less intense and infrequent. This alone may easy the headache symptom you are having. My worst one was sinus issues that lasted a while but eventually went away, I was confused because I figured my sinuses should have been happier once I quit but, as others have said, quitting plays havoc with our body systems for a while until it settles back into "normal" mode

I think a carton was about $80.00 - $90.00 when I quit so they would be more now but, the people who are really paying through the nose are the people down-under. I believe they are paying $25.00 a pack there Maybe Givein can confirm that? Just goes to show, people will smoke no matter what the cost!!

I know this one ^^

New Federal Budget in Canada is out today and they are putting another $1.00/carton of 200 cigarettes on the cost. Put tax on top of that and it's even more, plus retailers tend to take these opportunities to add a little for themselves. Just in the year I have quit, there's been at least 2 increases and that price will NEVER go down - never!! It's all music to my ears of course now that I have quit and ..... even more motivation never to go back to feeding this addiction. I'm rich .... I'm rich!!
