Given up the smokes?

I quit about 3 mths ago after smoking for over 20 yrs. I wanted a motorbike & the wife said if you give up you can get one. It was a great motivation as every time I felt like one I would get online & search for the bike I wanted. I have been off them for over 3 months now & am finding it not too hard. I picked up my new ride last weekend (mint condition VFR 800 :)) & now couldnt be happier. I say to friends that want to quit: work out what it costs you per year & then ask yourself what else you would be able to enjoy with that amount of cash. You are also, of course, healthier too.

A month and a few days:).

I will be able to justify that Nikon D60 soon. :cool::angel:

(P.S. I am turning into one of those reformed smokers......sorry. :mad:)

:D:D:D

so what are you going to do with the $7300 you are going to save each year :D

Well done and good luck to all those trying. I've not been able to calculate how much i've saved by giving up 30 plus years ago as I don't know what a pack of 20 costs these days.
But I was doing between 3 -4 packs a day and they cost 55 cents per pack.
Anyway I spent all the money on beer :(so I didn't save anything except my health and that's a goood enough reason to give up.
As my Doctor said then "Better to be bit of a fat bastard than a smoker" but now they're nagging us pleasently covered ones to give up eating as well!!!:D
Good luck.
Alan.
