Well, put it this way...booze is bad, but in moderation, it is not so bad....same with herbal "supplements"...again, not so bad...because you generally are not doing it every day or all day..not perfect, but we have to have some fun in life, of course!

At my peak, I was probably at about 2 packs worth of tobacco a day. That's a lot. That's 40 cigarettes a day!!!!

But to not smell like smoke all the time...wow! What a difference!!

I replaced it with going to the gym and working out (now that I can breath better). I have actually been to the gym every single day for two months now!!

And the saving money part is awesome.

2 packs a day is 10 bucks a day, that's 300 a month on cigarettes alone!!

Even if you do one pack a day, that's about 150 a month. That's 1800 a year. That's a Hawaiian vacation, basically.

So, if you smoke a pack a day, and quit for 10 years, you just saved 18,000 dollars!!!

And that is at today's 5 buck a pack prices. I expect they will go up even more in the future.
