I agree 100%. If you can afford 5.75 a pack, then you dont need assistance.
I have been a smoker for 25 years and have tried to quit for the last 5 years. I have to agree with apache on part of what he said. I have been able to walk away from any other thing with no problem but I was very weak willed when it came to quit smoking. I couldnt make it an entire day. Fortunately I have been pretty succesfull in my latest attemt to quit and have not had a cig for 2 weeks, which is a big deal for me. I think it has to be the most addictive substance out there.
