I quit smoking 7 years ago...

I bought a pack of smokes for 4 American dollars " Marlboro Reds in the Box " if you please.

They had just gone up in price from $3.50 a pack( I never went skimpy when I smoked so none of that off brand crap for me), I did some quick math

2 packs a day

sometimes 4 packs on Friday and Saturday cause the band would have a gig those nights

so...
lemme see


365 days X 2 + 49 weekends X 4 + an occasional pack thrown in to cover emergencies + the cost of two 99cent lighters per week - Im not gonna add in the cost of gas and wear and tear on my vehicals just to go get the damned things---------umm 3 carry the 9 ---umm hummm --- holy cow---

$2301.55

Give or take $100 for emergencies


This figure will very even more if I include the time lost from work because of sickness due to smoking and having to replace a pack that fell overboard out of my shirt pocket or got crushed cause I sat on them...

Maybe... umm ...round 4k a year

4k is being very flexible

If you want solid ...umm... $3500 is a number I can live with

So ...

3500 x 7= 24,500

$24,500 is what I have had to play with over 7 years...

$3500 a year buys a nice vacation or used car or boat...
