Smoking Costs

[Guest guest]

I'm afraid I am not a good person to talk to about cost of cigarettes, as my

husband has severe asthma and allergies, and we are very rabid anti-smoking. I

try to control my feelings about it around other people, and most people who

smoke are very conscious of not being irritating about it. I just wish people

who want to quit, could quit. It's SOOOO addictive! My brother has smoked

since he was a teenager, and has tried to quit, but hasn't been able to. He's

an alcoholic in recovery, and just can't kick both at once.

My stepson is also a smoker and my husband talked to him about it and he told

him that he could only quit one addiction at a time (he's a recovering drug

addict).

This is one product I wish had never been introduced in the marketplace in the

first place. They put all kinds of things in there that make it impossible to

quit once you start. I actually read or heard somewhere that it is more

addictive than heroin. That makes me very glad that I never started! I also

don't drink, but that's only because of my medications. I don't want to spend

my whole night hanging over the toilet (ACK, can you think of something worse???

LOL) I sure could go for a margarita sometimes though, ya know?
