    can't afford fuel..... give up smokes

    Right..... from other threads some people might remember i am looking at buying a v8 disco, but have been umming and arring about the fuel costs. Then it dawned on me i spend 40 to 50 bucks a week on smokes. so ive decided that ill buy it and give up the darts. problem solved. now i just hope i dont get any problems with it that drives me back onto them LOL.

    I've actually been contemplating giving up the smokes to pay for a set of Simex Centepedes


    And contemplating is as far as I've got so far.

    Give them up! After smoking for 30 years, about 10 years ago I gave them up.

    Now I can't stand the smell of them nor a smoker anywhere near me.

    I'm notorious at work for walking out if someone smokes. They can do my job as it's a non-smoking workplace.

    I gave up years ago when they got to expensive for me when Dunhills reached $5 a pack I tried a few times with no success before I went hardcore. I bought a pack of the strongest I could find Marlborough's from memory. I then chain smoked the whole pack double drawbacks all the way until i eventually spewed my guts up. Now the smell of cigarette smoke still makes me queasy. Certainly cured the cravings.

    I gave up smoking dunno how long ago must be at least five years though. One of the suprises i found was that my night sight got better?

    and after a night drinking I dont wake up feeling like death warmed up (not that I do it much any more)

    and while I'm not putting the money in the bank I have more money to play with.
