it helps not to develop stupid habits.
assume a pack of cigarettes costs approximately $3.00
assume a pack-a-day habit
assume the passage of ten years
10*365*$3 = $10,950.00 up in smoke
people really NEED to LOOK at what they actually do to themselves, look at what monies they expend without deriving any return (or any hope or expectation of return) before they start whining.
And cigarettes generally cost more than that.
