The cost was a huge motivating factor for me. There were others, but it was at least the second on the list.
I looked at all my receipts for a week, did the math on how much the smokes were....basically came out to spending $3200-3500 a year on cigarettes.
Yeah, money is one of my motivating factors. It's a friggin car payment a month. I could upgrade to a pretty damn nice car....that didn't smell like cigarettes... if I quit. Plus, I wouldn't have to have my daughter break my heart and ask me to stop. Nicotine is a hell of a drug.
