The Price$$$ of Cigarettes

18 years ago 0 +0 / -0 2039

I don't know about the price of cigs in the rest of the world, but here in Ontario I've been paying between 8 and 9 dollars a pack, depending where you go. So I'm really looking forward to saving that money. My son's girlfriend's mom quit a few weeks ago(and still hangin' in there) and every time she gets the urge to smoke, she goes upstairs and counts her money that she keeps in a jar now. I'm just lovin' that idea! When I get the craving, I'll count my money. It'll soon add up.

I have noticed since I quit that I seem to have money in my wallet where before there was none. It's eerie, but cool.

I use to smoke Dunhill and here in South Africa a pack of 20 Dunhill costs about R16 (well 40 days ago it did). I smoked on average 50 a day that is R40/day. Not smoking for 43 days equals R1720. Enough to buy a TV and a cheap DVD machine!! Not smoking for a year will enable me to buy a small second hand car or a brand new 4 wheeler (quad bike).

Many of us have no idea. Hi Princess. Class has started and I started a stress reduction group for smokers, so I won't be around much anymore. Keep it going, girl.

I dont pay much attention to the cost of sickarettes anymore, when i quit a pack was costing me $10.20 for a pack of 25, i was in a convenience store on the weekend and i saw that they were charging $12 for the same brand. I have no idea how i could ever afford to smoke :gasp: PrincessC :) x [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B] 7/11/2006 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 63 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 1,275 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $642.6 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 5 [B]Hrs:[/B] 3 [B]Mins:[/B] 10 [B]Seconds:[/B] 59

Jan, I can't believe they cost that much, I thought $5.00 here was bad. I just love that idea about counting the money. Thats why I like having the quit meter, it was such a reinforcement for me to see the cigs not smoked, and the money saved. You'll find something that motivates you that way to keep that quit.

I'm so glad I'm not wasting my money on killing myself anymore. Why I ever did is beyond me.
