I thought everyone knew how old I was - it's not a secret.

Yeah but we forget then go 'Oh Pants!' when you suddenly remind us like that.

Or maybe it's just me.

damn Malboros! :devious:

I am 19 years old and since 7 years smokers

Yup, have smoked for 25+ years. Disgusting habit that I am trying to kick, with no success yet. With the price of cigarettes down here in Aus @ $10.00+ for a 30 pack, it could be a windfall for me if I can stop!!

I quit January 2nd of this year. I've been on the patch for the last few days, haven't had a cigarette at all.

Man, do I want one... Just one! But I know that one will lead to two, then four, then a pack and then I'd be right back to where I was. So I'm sticking with it!

But it's hard...

I've smoked for goin on five years now. Newport 100's in a box are what I smoke, pack (20 - 25) a day. I pay $2.59 for a pack.

I should add that I live in North Carolina, and a great deal of people around here smoke. There are nearly no limits on smoking in public places and we make a great deal of money on the stuff. For example Newports are made about 45 minutes from my home.

I need to quit, but you know, I drink a lot of pepsi to.

That's cheap! Around here, a pack of Marlboros is almost $5 at a smoke shop. About the same at a gas station or 7-11.

I was buying mine at an Indian reservation, paying $32 per carton - $3.20 per pack.[/QUOTE]

$2.59 isn't cheap, when I started I paid about $2.00 a pack. Cartons go for about $20 for most brands. The cheaper brands range from $1 - $1.50 a pack.

These are from local stores, some charge more of course. I'm aware of how cheap they are, we have a lot of people moving into the area from up north and it's all they talk about. Some have even started smoking more per day now that they can buy them for less.
