Never thought of that before! Very interesting. I did mine, and I have spent 3,135 minutes, or 52.25 hours, or 2.18 days smoking. That is sick!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! No wonder I have so much time now.

HOLY CRAP is right! Thanks for that. Another reason to stay quit is great! Time gets more and more precious to me as I get older, to give that much time to smoking would be insane and I REFUSE!

I'm a software developer. I'm also involved in software sales. ROI is something we are always trying to prove to prospects. I thought it was interesting to apply it to my quit and I was pretty amazed by the numbers. I do have a lot more time on my hands now. I just wish earlier quits had worked for me like this one is. I don't know what's different this time but something sure is. I guess it's just my time to succeed! Now - I'd better get back to work or my boss will not get his ROI...

Very interesting.... My meter shows about 1030 cigarettes avoided in the past 29 days. What does that really mean? If each cigarette took 5 minutes to smoke: That's 5150 minutes, or 85.84 hours, or 3.58 days of continuous smoking! Holy Crap! You're kidding me right? What a waste of time! Interesting that by avoiding those 3.58 days of smoking, I've added over 4 days to my life expectancy. I'd call that a pretty damn good Return on Investment wouldn't you?
