Smoke Free

Hats off to my friend, Ed, who has been smoke-free for three months. Smoking is a tough addiction and it wasn’t his first attempt at quitting. Failures are tough and it takes a great deal of courage to try again. I’m so glad that he did.
My father stopped smoking after a friend died of lung cancer. A girlfriend stopped as part of a pact with her emphysemic mother. A co-worker and single mother stopped when she calculated the financial impact on her tight budget. That was twenty years ago. I researched current cigarette prices and ended up with some cigar prices as well. In the United States, cigarette prices varied by state and ranged from $5 to $9 per pack. A box of twenty-five cohiba cigars cost over two hundred dollars. Talk about burning money!
Whatever the motivation, I hope that many others will follow in Ed’s footsteps. Congratulations, Ed.

Really STRONG mints are helping with cravings.
