Thinking about buying a pack of smokes

[Hill]

It's more of a confidence booster I can look at it and think If I can quit those I can do anything.

 

[zoiDman]

what do you guys think?

I think it is a Bad Idea.

Sounds like a waste of ten bucks.

Plus then they are there for your temptation.

So I say no.

I didn't read all the responses, because this first one sums it up

I kept a glass on my desk with about 3 cigarettes in it for about 6 months. For some reason it made me feel better. Like every day I chose not to smoke. I was never really tempted.

My friend cold turkey quit smoking and she kept a pack of cigarettes in her purse for about a year.

Different strokes.

Nah… just put this picture on your desk and "salute" them every day.

I'm three weeks in and doing very well. Do. Not. Want. A. Cigarette.

That said, right before I decided to do this, I had just bought a whole carton of smokes. Smoked two packs. I still have the rest of the carton - eight packs of cigarettes. I do not know what to do with them, so they are just sitting there.

The frugal, waste-not part of me hates to just throw them in the trash. I'm really not keeping them for any other reason. Ideas?

Give them to the homeless. Or throw them in the freezer. You might run across someone that wants them.

Hmmm, may be a business opportunity here....selling packs of smokes encased in acrylic resin...

LOL! I wonder how many here will remember that glass tube containing one cigarette and a wooden match with instructions printed on it
to break glass in case of emergency. Must have been the 70's, 80's?

Print a picture of a pack of your old brand and frame it. Why give any more money to Big Tobacco? Then take the money and buy 10 ml of the liquid you use now - or buy yourself a beer (glass of champagne, ice cream sundae, whatever)!

 

[Southern Tina]

I wouldn't do it. Spend that money on some yummy flavors instead.

 

[Johnnie Price]

Go buy a couple beers or three. That's what I do.
