Korona 0 Report post Posted July 17, 2009 @ Monkey, how much would a cigarette have to cost to make you quit? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Monkey 0 Report post Posted July 17, 2009 (edited) Serious answer? Hmm... I'd probably be just about priced out at $10 per pack of marlboro reds :wub:. For comparison purposes, right now a pack of reds costs $5.21 at the gas station closest to work. Edited July 17, 2009 by Monkey Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Captain Miller 0 Report post Posted July 21, 2009 I live in New York City and I quit smoking about a month ago. The price of cigs is about $10.50 a pack. I smoked with them at that price for atleast 5 months. God only knows how much money I spent. If you live near $5 dollar packs then enjoy them while your lungs hold up. I can't afford em anymore. Then again I enjoy smoking a joint better anyway Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'd probably be just about priced out at $10 per pack of marlboro reds :wub:. For comparison purposes, right now a pack of reds costs $5.21 at the gas station closest to work. Whoa is that for a pack of 10 or 20? Rolling tobacco = cheaper and nicer! But as i understand, rolling tobacco is hardly known in the us. A friend of mine who smokes rolling tobacco was arrested last year when he was in the states. The police officers thought he was smoking marijuana. But as a smoker i can say that the cost of cigarettes doesn't lead to more people who quit smoking. Those who say they quit smoking due to the cost of cigarettes, are usually the "party-smokers" or recreational smokers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shinobi 0 Report post Posted August 2, 2009 Well monkey said its like 5 dollars for a packet or cigarettes so that's about what i pay for 12.5g of tobacco, guess there isn't much point for rolling in the states.. In England it's spot the student :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mehman 0 Report post Posted August 2, 2009 Quitting is a bitch, but once you do, it's well. Different. I truly haven't been smoking for a year now(unlike the other times where I quit for two weeks and then started smoking again when I was drunk and then just went back to it full time) and it's a blast, no smelly fingers, no smelly breath, no strange after tastes, no complaining from your partner and a bunch of other goodies. The bad thing is you miss out on the morning coffee and smoke. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You don't tend to get smelly fingers, breath, smell on clothes if you smoke baccy, though i shouldn't really be promoting smoking to an ex smoker :P Gotta say it's hard not to, I tend to 'quit' once i start a football game and by the end of run off and have one hah Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rattuskid 0 Report post Posted August 3, 2009 Icon: *toke* "You know, maybe other people's opinion's matter." Never tried pot. Had an ex that both smoked and dealt it, but I didn't want to try. Knew a really bright girl in HS who overdid it and basically became dependent on it and uncaring of much else... Salvia though, I wanna try. Preferably in a place it's not illegal in yet.
