If passed, the price of a carton would go up by another $6+.

That does it. I'm switching to Heroin.

j.m.s.

I quit 2 1/2 yrs ago, I was up to 3 packs a day (at least). Never tried to quit before, no patch, no drugs, just cold turkey. Ate sunflower seeds in the begining but they started giving me heart burn.
I have 2 young daughters and they are pretty much the reason I quit. I smoked for 28 yrs, so that was long enough. My problem is nibbling, gotta always have snacks now, especially gummy bears. Not the healthiest thing to do , but It still beats the alternative.
Good luck, be determined and don't give in, don't give those damn things power over you, that goes for any addiction. I quit the booze 16 yrs ago too!

A guy i know from another website just started using this.....really don't know much about it, but he says they're available in North America.....may be the answer for some of you with a harder time quitting than most....here's a little vid of him explaining it.

I make my own . $11.00 per carton and better than commercial brands . I'll quit when tobacco is outlawed entirely ... or just grow my own like an " Old Hippie."

shanekw1

Try $11 or $12 a pack.

I am root'in for you all the way!
I quit when smokes hit $1.25 a pack, I told my wife Phillip Morris could find some other sucker.
Quitting was tough, but you can do it! I remember eating like a horse too RBS but thats OK cause the money youll save on cigs will more than pay for the higher grocery bills and maybe even a gym membership if you need to work some weight off!

49 months without smoking here...

So how are the quitters doing now? Everyone hanging in there?

In other words, the prices should be enough of a stupid tax, if only the for the money, let alone your lungs. I still can't believe I smoked for 27 years.

Congrats to all the people that quit smoking. Doc says I need a lung biopsy and possibly chemo and radiation. Yeehaa.

I still can't kick the habit, but that's ok. Smoking is my stress relief and I knew the consequences so I ain't whining about it.

Damn sorry to hear that Bob. I quit chewing last Oct over a scare. Hope everything turns out alright for ya.

BobsLandscaping

I'm not too worried about it. They found it in Feb went I went in for my annual physical. I have tachycardia and I need a physical and EKG for that annually. Plus it was for my DOT. Other than shortness of breath and dizzyness I feel ok. The dizzyness could also be attributable to my degenerative heart condition. I plan on getting a biopsy later this winter when I have more time. Probably around Christmas break.

It ain't easy getting old.

willworkforbeer

Been smokin 28 years except for a period where I was training to box. I might die from it, but I wont die from being lazy or fat. Long overdue physical and xray said lungs were fine.

joasis

If you get news that has hope, trust me...Chantix works...and I did not want to quit. Now I support Wrigley gum....should buy some stock. T&P buddy.
