Who else smoked Newport 100s?

Or other expensive brands?

The place across the street (the temptation is killing me, day 9) sells them for $7.19.

How did I spend $7.19 A DAY ?!?!?

When I started, Marbarol 27s (so gross, but they're all gross) were $2.50 a pack. (2004 or around then)

I'm grateful for the public smoking bans, but the price increase never phased me.

I've quit a hundred times, but never with the app. When I quit in October (2.5 month then a relapse in December) and saw the amount I spent on giving myself poor health - wow. I honest to God thought I would be saving 50-70 bucks a month. I think I got that number from when I quit in 2011 for a year and a half, idk.

I was a pack a day more than not, but even if it was every two days, that's still over 100 bucks a month.

Yet I want one.

But I don't want everything that comes with *one* (reigniting the addiction, a hole in my wallet, gum disease, disappointing my child etc)

I've been going through a craving for the last 1/2 hour. Thought sharing some thoughts would break me out of this ditch my brain is glitching on. Going to drink some ice water, chew some gum, and idk, some yoga or something.
