My eldest son has quit smoking, he's now into his 3 months of being free. He said he still carries his lighter in his pocket just to remember how stupid he's been. He's saved thousands of dollars in those 3 months.

In this day and age 2 to 5 dollar per pack tax it has to be about 7 dollars per pack and remember last century one could get a carton under that.
 
What worked for me........I used to buy the 25 packs which had a cardboard outer shell. I used a ball point pen to write the time on the package, each time I smoked one. On day 2, I started to increase the time between smokes to 20 minutes. By day 5 I was at one hour, between smokes, By week 4 I was at 4 hours between smokes, and by week 6 I had quit entirely. Reduce the number smoked, and increase the time between smokes. At that time I was a long distance driver, so keeping track was easy to do, just by looking at the times I had written on the package. That was in 2001.JimB.

£14 per pack here in the UK. That's £14 for 20 cigarettes... not a carton..just one pack of cigarettes. The minimum wage is £10.42 ph..so to afford a single pack of cigarettes people have to pay more than an hours' salary
 
Yeah, I watched the video. I get it. I really get it. I was there too. I understand. But it gets better. Some day you will become the lazy bloodhound lying next to the fireplace without a care in the world.
 
My husband quit when he was 70, many years ago. There were habits that went along with smoking such as, when the phone rang, when he was talking to friends or having a drink. He used to put a pencil in his mouth pretending it was a cigarette. It did work but then he decided to have Barley Sugar sweets and ended up going through a packet a week. Something else he became addicted to. I believe here in Aust. a packet of 20 cigarettes is now over $50.00.
