Cost of Smoking in New Jersey

Hi all, Here in The Netherlands they don't put up the price but they they take out one cigaret. Instead of 20 you get only 19 cigs per box. Sneaky huh? The price is 4 � a box.

Am I different than most quiters?

Thanks for all the replies. Breaking Free you just said what I mean only your English is so much better ....lol. I do sometimes think that I shouldn't come to this site because I feel a little depressed after reading some posts. On the other hand, if I can only help one person with my positive additude then I'm really happy, that's the reason I keep coming here and try to help people. I want to tell the quitters for whom it is not as easy that I stay busy and do things I really like. Since I don't smoke I have about 3 hours more in a day. That 3 hours I used to smoke and sit and did nothing. Now I am doing fun things and that is why I am so happy. Stay busy, fill the 3 hours. Yesterday I went to a party and there I realized that there is a life after smoking. A fun and better life. I'm glad that you all took the time to respond. I think I love you guys ;) Dutch hugs for all (((((((((((((( quitters)))))))))))))) :)FINI :) [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B] 4/1/2006 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 113 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 2,840 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] �333.35 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 15 [B]Hrs:[/B] 15 [B]Mins:[/B] 0 [B]Seconds:[/B] 0

Am I different than most quiters?

Hello girls and guys, I read most of the posts here. Most people have problems by quiting smoking. I quited cold turkey, no patches or chewinggum. The first week was a little hard because the nicotine had to go out of my system. After that week I realized that smoking was a habbit too and I changed a lot of the things I do during days. I have no cravings, no withdrawal symptoms and I have never felt better in my whole life. I am 55 years young and I have smoked for almost 40 years. The only thing I feel is a big relieve. I am so happy that I don't have to smoke anymore. I have to admitt that I am a happy person, almost always in a good mood and full of fun, always joking arround. Could it be that I am just lucky or is it the way I think about things? Who can help me out? P.S. I'm glad that I am who I am....lol.

Sad and fed up today!

Dear sweet Niks, Sorry to hear you are not feeling well right now. There is a little light though. My best friend and also nextdoorneighbour is a smoker. I used to hang out with her every day. When I quit smoking I thought that she would not smoke when I was arround but no, she didn't care one bit. She didn't want to talk about my quit or nothing. When I was at her (smelling) house she smoked one after the other. She had NO idea that it bothered me. Smokers are somewhat dumb and blind (lol). I decided not to go to her house every day and I know that she is not happy at all about that. But I protected my quit. Last week we went to a party together and I sat next to her as usual and it didn't bother me at all that she smoked. I mean: You will notice that THEY are the one who feel bad about them smoking, not you. You made a good decision and you have to stick with that. I know it's hard now and I really feel sorry for you. It's no use to talk about them about your quit because they have no idea what you mean but that's the smokers additude. They don't have a clue. Stay strong niks and come here often. We need you!! Big hugs, Fini ((((((((((((((( NIKS))))))))))))))))))))) [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B] 4/1/2006 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 112 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 2,802 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] �330.4 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 15 [B]Hrs:[/B] 10 [B]Mins:[/B] 1 [B]Seconds:[/B] 57
