I owe this information to another FReeper, whose name I have, sadly, forgotten.
IF YOU SMOKE: STOP buying brand name cigarettes. They are loaded with chemicals, and even more so in TAXES!!!
I smoked for the better part of 40 years. The last 5 or so, I smoked as much as 4 packs a day. It was insane. I was insane. I disgusted myself when I actually stopped and thought about the number of cigarettes I consumed in a month, year, etc.
Here’s a “twofer”:
Part 1...Go to your local smoke shop or google for make your own cigarettes. Then, buy a 16 oz. bag of tobacco, a carton of tubes, and, if you don’t mind splurging a bit, a machine to make them for you (trust me, it’s well worth it).
Altogether it will cost you about $60.00 the first time to make 3-4 cartons of smokes. After that, it’ll only cost you about $15.00 or so for a bag of tobacco and about $2.50 for a carton of tubes. A 16 oz. bag of tobacco will make at least three cartons but usually four. Do the math, you’ve now saved a car payment, or a month’s electricity bill, etc.
Part 2...Now that you’ve been smoking a “clean” cigarette for a while, you will have surely noticed that your desire to smoke has subsided quite a bit, mine did immensely. Now, if you’re of the mind to do so, you’ll find quitting will be so much easier. I have.
When you get a craving, as I still do sometimes, I can not offer a higher recommendation than Commit lozenges, I like Cherry flavored, to take the “edge” off. They work as advertised.
At $34.26 per carton, and only 4 cartons per month, you will save over $1300.00! dollars per year! I have saved about $5000.00 in the year I did this, plus maybe, my life, as well.
Great info! I have smoked, quit, relapsed, quit, and so on for years. Never more than 10 a day, but when you’ve got 67 cents and no gas in the car, quitting cold turkey usually works. Hee hee
