9 bucks a can?! grizzley is just under 3 after tax and skoal/cope are about 5. I would tell you to stop smoking and just dip and slowly stop that too but that would be even more expnsive.

stating the exception, not the rule, is a crutch smokers have been leaning on since cancer statistics began. |

that is certainly a plus to it. What is actually really fun is what me and some guys call a nicotine patch. Put in a dip and as soon as you start feeling it, light up too. Not overly healthy, but fun none the less.

Smoking isn't fun at all nowadays. When I smoked, you could smoke on airplanes. I couldn't wait until the No Smoking sign went off so I could light up.
Most of the time, I would only use my lighter once a day to light a cigarette. But I would light the next cigarette off the last one. Three packs would be gone by the end of the day. That's chain smoking. My friend had his leg blown off in Vietnam, so he was retired. I would drive him to the PX to buy cartons @ $2. Then I had my mom, a nurse at the VA hospital buying me cigarettes at $0.23/pack. It still wasn't enough, and I had to buy smokes at the store for 0.32/pack. When they went to 36 cents a pack, I quit cold turkey. Been over 34 years now without a cigarette. The first seven years were the hardest. Most of my friends who continued smoking are dead. Since I quit, I've run hundreds of races including two marathons. Like most things in life, if it isn't hard to do, it ain't worth doing. |
