here in burlington it's almost 7 bucks a pack.. back home it was only like 4. needless to say that alone will help me slow my roll.. or so i thought until camel decided buy 2 get one free was a good promotion for me myself and i. i fucking hate the fact that i smoke cigarettes. every single cigarette i smoke the thought of quitting goes through my head and my hatred for the things goes through my head, unfortunately.. it still doesn't stop me from going through and getting another one a few hours later. ive quit for weeks on end.. months even.. then i always seem to pick it back up. yes.. it's all habit, and honestly i'd really like to say fuck the patches and fuck the gum and all that other stuff, cause in the end youre doing the same thing in a more healthy way.. you need to get away from the habit more than you need to get away from the nicotine (in my experience, at least..) granted they both hold strong. im on about a pack a day and have smoked for about 5 years now. its pitiful. so i wish you hte best of luck man. do it for you and i both, maybe it'll at least get me to slow down.
