I need some tools.  Maybe should take up smoking and then quit.  So, if I intend to smoke for ten years but quit after one month do I get nine years and 11 months worth of purchasing power.

Good for you, I quit over 3 years ago and the money not spent on smokes just goes elsewhere so I'm no further ahead in a sense of having more money.  Everybody is different.

Great job man. I quit cold turkey after smoking 2 packs of colts a day for ten years.  Never felt better.

Know it's hard but keep it up. Worth it!! More money for exotic woods.

You should move to Norway, then you could REALLY save money. A pack of 20 cigarettes cost US$ 15. Bue--.   :scared:

I quit smoking at age 16 when a pack of smokes went from 25 cents to 27 cents a pack. I thought "that's outrageous, I not paying that much for a pack".

This was over 50 years ago, sometimes being cheap is a good thing.
