While deployed to Okinawa in the mid 80's I paid $125/carton of generic cigarettes. Is it any wonder I smoked so much for so many years.
As someone who has stopped smoking and using dip tobacco for over 10 years now I have a few suggestions for those who want to stop smoking. Everytime you quit you will get better at stopping and the more likely it will last. The more often you attempt to stop you learn the trigers that get you to want to smoke and learn ways to avoid or deal with these situations.
So I quit smoking several times over my life(started at 17 stopped smoking at 41). Started using dip tobacco at 41 and stopped at about 52. Think about how much money I have pi$$ed away. Not to mention how bad I smelled with that smoke on my clothes, car, house, wife, kids, dog etc.
It makes me sad to think of the wasted money and time I put into smoking. Mike
