After 35 years of smoking, I just got kind of tired of it, and the rising cost (tax) helped make my decision.
My last cig was in late January 2003.
Since then, I figure I have saved about $1800 to $2400 per YEAR. Now, I frequently ‘treat’ myself to some gadget or a new computer, etc., and call it my reward from my no-longer-smoking savings.
Good for you, I put them down in 2008. “Tuff” addiction to break.
