I was about to quit for the same reason, but found out how cheap it was to roll your own. Better and fresher tobacco, too. And no additives, etc. Buy it by the pound. Less than a buck a pack -- and that's with filter tubes.
Smoking hasn't killed me yet, and I started puffin' years before Lucky Strike Green went to war. It might have effected my brain some, as some of my replies here would clearly show.
What would probably kill me would be if Free Republic were to crash for a week.
Fifty year smoker here and doing quite well...I've even exceeded my life expectancy.
Go figure!
