OK once again as cigarettes shot up in price to now $5.16 following the increase in tax, I decided to quit smoking.
So far so good, I'm on day 4 with minimal help from using Commit nicotine lozenges.
Which wouldn't be so bad, however my main gripe is the cost of these things.
$64.99 for 108 lozenges?
or I could by 12 packs or 240 cigarettes for the same price.
Why if people are being encouraged to quit smoking that the alternatives are more expensive than the actual cigarettes?
If I still lived in England, I could buy the same for £8.49 or $11.91 on the current exchange rate where a packet of cigarettes costs approximately £5.62 or $7.88 on the exchange rate.
Don't give up!! I used to say the same thing why did it cost more for the quitting products than it does for cigs...
JulesI quit a year ago December 17th. I feel great! I did go the chantex (sp) route. I did it for about 5 weeks then quit taking the pills. I have not wanted a cig since.
My trick was... I would tell myself if I can make it until this time tomorrow I would reward myself with a cigarette at that time. It was a mind thing, I never did have that reward.
