And at the convenience store downstairs (downtown Chicago) they're a staggering $8.00 a pack. I can remember paying less than that for a carton.

Overall, I feel better, breathe easier, certainly smell better, and I don't cough up a pound of goo every morning. And the metrosexuals don't wrinkle their noses at me when I walk down the street now (although I do kind of miss that, because I still hate anti-smoking nazi assholes ).

OTOH, I've yet to lose so much as an ounce of the weight I gained when I quit. That's a bitch.

Great post dude. I quit 10 years ago and feel better than I have in my entire life. I can breathe, my food tastes better and I save a ton of money.
