    Finances are usually not that much of an issue when it comes to smoking. (at least, never enough of an excuse to quit)

    The health thing really should bother you.

    What works for me is a mix of smoking and lots of exercise. Keeps me healthy.

    perhaps not for you. but buying a pack every two days at over 5 bucks a pop adds up quickly.

    the health is the primary factor, though, and no amount of exercise helps me. i've always had problems with breathing, and its just fucking awful when i am smoking

    Roll your own tobacco, man.

    It used to be cheaper before the tax, but it's still pretty damn cheap. Easier to pace yourself too.

    But yeah, you shouldn't smoke and crap.

    I always cut down to 5-7 ciggs per day over the summer since I'm away from my damn friends.

    It goes back up to 20+ the day I get back to college though.

    have and generally do. but i still prefer good tobacco...top, bugler, kite all suck. i like stokkebye's blends. but unfiltered kills me super fast, and makes me feel like shit. using tubes or rolling filters by hand is only slightly more expensive, but it is more expensive - AND uses more tobacco per smoke. anyway, it is still cheaper - but only if you smoke lousy tobacco, usually.

    anyway, my friends are also trying to quit now, too. it will help me to quit when others aren't smoking around me (i'm weak) and my health has gotten really bad lately, so its the perfect time.

    there is this thing about quitting smoking,... the rule is that you can smoke as many as you want, but once you quit you can't smoke any more, ever. fucking no more or else you haven't quit, you've tried and failed and that makes you a failure.

    so maybe instead of trying(make an effort) then you should actually quit trying and actually stop, for realz.

    Fuck unfiltered. That's just nasty.

    Filters are like... a dollar for a 100.

    I only smoke quality tobacco.

    Right now I got 4 pouches of Drum World Blends... really awesomely good and unique tobacco.

    Usually I just smoke regular Drum or Bali.

    All of my friends went through the "let's quit" because of the tobacco tax thing. It won't work unless everyone actually quits.

    You get drunk one night... one person still has cigarettes... and you know... it goes downhill from there.

    I smoke Bali Shag and when I go into the city I get a big pouch of medium black cherry and some Balkan tobacco from Levitt and Pieerce. mmmmm, black cherry.

    Well, yeah.. go on and quit.

    I just paid $5 a pouch though. Totally worth not quitting :p.

    Hmm... sounds expensive, but I can afford expensive right now.. so I might check it out if I find it.

    Never been the biggest fan of Spirit, but it's actually fairly cheap compared to other brands right now.

    That's just way too fucking expensive.

    Don't think the samples would be worth the shipping charges.

    A can of Drum is pretty decently priced there though.

    I don't think that would work for Nesta. He comes off much smarter than that.
