Do the math!
As a 20+ year cigarette smoker it came down to math not health.
When I quite I was up to almost 3 packs a day.
At the time best price around was $3.75 - $4.00 a pack. 2.75 packs a day,
365 days a year = 1004 packs a year. That’s $3,800 to $4,000 a year.
At $4000.00 that’s $330+ a month.
I need a car so instead of smoking I drive this:
I bought it used so there was even enough left over for insurance
Give yourself a reason to work for it, it is work to quit.
But if the reward is worth it you will succeed.
I did it cold turkey, no patch or gum but I still smoked my pipe occasionally.
I did not take up smoking cigars on a regular basis until almost 2 full years of not smoking.
Good luck and like mentioned before if you are not truly ready it will be hard.
