I started smoking when 14. I married a man at 25 who hated smoking but whenever he was out hunting, etc. I would buy a pack. After 22 years of marriage we divorced and I, at age 47, began to smoke without reservation. I smoked when I was happy. I smoked when I was sad. I smoked whenever something happened abd I wanted to go outside and think about the event. Now at age 72 I finally went cold turkey. In the US where I live it costs about $8.00 a day including taxes. So I've saved $864 so far. That's 2 car payments. I still miss smoking. I will until the day I die. I don't really crave so much, but still want to smoke.
