I thought the same thing, but sadly realized even before I clicked the link, "No, it's not chan tax. It would be awesome if it was."

The title of this thread made me just say "WTF"- yeah, I was thinking about a nasty surcharge on imports. Chantax (actually Chantix) is one hell of a weird name, but no more so than a bunch of other prescription drug brand names.

Aside from the health reasons, the most daunting thing about cigarettes is the cost. You think $5.50 here and there isn't so bad, blah blah blah... Until you do the math.

Pack a day/$5.50/x365 = $2007/year spent on 27's, reds, or whatever.

Okay, so that might not seem bad. HOWEVER, let's look at this over a ten year period and assume that the $167/month that you normally spend on cigarettes is, instead, put into a modest 6.5% savings account and you come up with:

It just cost you $32,000.00+ to smoke for ten years. Yeah, I'm still smoking and I'm an idiot.

For all the bitching I've been doing, the last few days haven't been that bad. Sometimes I'll think about the fact that I can't ever smoke a cigarette again and I get bummed out, but there are zero cravings. Its really really interesting.

I recommend this stuff. Its only been a week, but it gets easier every day. I have a good feeling about this time...

You might have just talked me into it. Part of smoking is being a stubborn bitch about the whole thing and denial. I've gone days without a cigarette and don't really "have" to smoke but end up doing it again, anyway.

Try visiting quitnet.com

The "money/life saved" counter is a great way to back yourself up on a day where its difficult.

Try the Chantax (fuck Zyban imo) it makes you feel weird and indescribable about cigarettes. The first few days are fucked though... so buck up princess.
