That's really inspiring. Thanks for this @OP
cormwallace
Kinda cool.
sparklejars
That is such a good idea when you trying to give up something! Thanks for the tip! Enjoy your holiday, well done!

I wish I did this. I'm 6 months cigarette free right now.

"Smoking or non-smoking, sir?" "NON-SMOKING, BITCHES!" *makes it rain at Cheesecake Factory*

I've never smoked and I don't have folders of bills laying around.... I have done something wrong.
tellyourmomisayhi
I bought a new car when I quit smoking. Congrats
sharon838
Congrats on quitting smoking!
RoyBattysDove
I realized this on a monthly basis tonight when I did my first budget in years. Ugh, I have to kick this habit.
Davedavedavedavedave
C.... Can I look at that?
dogsarecooltoo
Don't put that shit in a book! Ya'll ever hear of a Roth IRA? We talking tax-exempt withdraws in retirement here. Serious shit.
TheRealJoeBiden
It's sad I can't motivate myself the same way, my year of smoking costs $250.
butterflymkm
Where do you live that smokes are that cheap? I spend that in a month in Maryland.

Congrats from a long time smoker. I'm quitting thanks for the inspiration

What were you smoking? Gold?
RolandTheLastGunSlinger
This is inspiring as fuck for someone like me who smokes about a pack a day. So you saved all the money you would have spent that day on 1?
Armithel
You have alot of family members that resemble Abe Lincoln
BoatswainsMate
Quitting smoking is easy. I've done it a thousand times.
ModelTMsDollie
We did it once by never starting.

I worked out I can save about 2555. I'm planning on doing this soon. Open a savings I can't draw on and auto transfer daily.
yourbassist
If you're not looking to draw from it look for a more beneficial investment vehicle.
skwotingdog
Explain. I do want to have access to it every 3-5 years for trips back to UK
yourbassist
Savings accounts offer shit for return. Look for something you can draw on with little to no penalty.

@OP I saw a woman named Anna share this exact photo on Facebook yesterday saying it was hers.
TheTurtleStoleMyFuckingPoptart
I had 2 friends say it was theirs. Wow. What an astronomical coincidence. Lol

I too had someone named Anna share this photo and title...

Your back became a cat?

Yes, Like I said, really bad for your back. Do you know how hard it is to type without opposable thumbs??... mrao
celestedrake
I didn't think it was that hard. My cat types on my keyboard all the time.
FloodingWaters
3 packs a day at $5/pack.
Dustyblue
3 packs a day? They call you thomas the tank engine or something?
FloodingWaters
oh, i'm not, nor have ever been a smoker. that's just what $5475 works out to.
Dustyblue
crazy, i'm a smoker, but can only manage half a pack a day - 3 packs is just insane.
FloodingWaters
i don't understand any of ya'll. If I smoke a single cig while drunk, i cough black shit in the morning and feel pain in my lungs all day.
FloodingWaters
which is why it's only when i'm drunk that I think it's an ok thing to do.
Dustyblue
probably an underlying condition - i have never had that and i have smoked 15 odd years.
Deathsagaxx
Damn, people say you save once you quit smoking, but really it depends on how much you buy, I used to buy one pack a month.
ModelTMsDollie
We never started and still can't save money.
Deathsagaxx
That's the spirit!
chiplizard
Same. I mostly just smoke socially so I make them last a while
Deathsagaxx
Which equals out to about 80 a year, you must buy a pack a day?
Deathsagaxx
But either way, good job and congrats on quitting :)
illogicalphallusies
Depends where OP lives. I smoked 1pack/week and that amounted to about $750, cigs are EXPENSIVE in canada. OP is in US though, i dunno price
Deathsagaxx
Ah yeah I see, I guess here in US they average around 6 to 8 a pack
MyOcContent
Thats around $15/day. The fuck...
Baldybeardman
Even cheaper brands are around 15.50 in Canada. 20 bucks for Export A or Players
illogicalphallusies
I used to smoke ExportA, quit when they were $13.40/pack...glad i did...fuck me! $20!!!
MadeYouLookTwice
That’s three packs a day here in the southern US. Good thing they quit because that’s way too many per day.
iamtotallyahuman
In new zealand they are about $20 now. When I use to smoke 4 years ago they were $13
IHaveAPhrasalUserNameLikeThisOneCauseTheyAlwaysGetTheTopComment
The cheapest ones you can find where I live are like €4-5.
KimKumdashian
In Aus, they're upwards of $27 for a 20 pack. Plus the awful packaging. That's why I started to import them instead.
iamtotallyahuman
Yeah they want to make it so there is no branding what so ever. Right now it's all anti smoking adds on the front and back.
KimKumdashian
I think we've just accepted it now. Oh well, I'm quitting soon anyway.
thesameasyours2
how f***ing much did you smoke, geeze, you might be ded OP
sonic745
Jesus Christ, enough smoke to definitely give you emphysema.
fullofpoo
9.50 a pack in Washington state after taxes
idahomachinist
$10 bucks is a 2 pack a day habit (price wise in Idaho). I wish I had thought of putting money away like that. I just payed off bills.
Treblaine
That's only $15 a day, so slightly more than a pack a day at NY prices
Kate0808
Less than a pack a day where I live.
rzlprnft
about 6€ (6-7$) in Germany. And why does everybody say "in Ohio", "in NYC", "in CA"... Aren't there fixed prices around the country?
unreachablecupcake
States enforce their own tax rates for tobacco
Roudy
Probably not ops picture...this has been ask over fb this week
SherMattLockSmith
When I was at my worst I smoked a pack and a half a day easily, and at prices as they are now, that could almost equal 5400$/year.
zimirken
Thats as much as the maximum out of pocket limit on my health insurance.
cogs
Pack a day, quit two years ago, I'm about $4K saved. That looks like a two pack plus smoker right there. Or a New Yorker.
Autocorrected
$11 Chicago suburbs
izmi
Depends where you live... here in NZ, a pack of 20 cigarettes will cost you over $20. Cigarettes have massive taxes.
shutupmark
$5475 divided by 365 days equals $15 a day. That's 2 packs a day most places, 1 pack a day in NYC.
Rediculocity
I can barely afford to live normally, never mind afford to smoke, drink etc etc...

camelman912
I quit Feb '15, but prices in Miami were about $6-7 a pack average. So if you smoke a pack a day you'd spend about $2400 here.
camelman912
Correction I quit Feb '14... According to an app I installed called QuitNow!, I've saved, theoretically, $4,960 since quitting.
causamortis1
It would depend where you live and what you smoke I would think.
Cancerzworld
This maths out to $15 a day. 2 packs a day where I live. Source - I'm a filthy smoker
absolutezero182
In Utah it's 6.59 per pack on average. That's 2.2 packs a day
PleaseInsertSophomoricGenitaliaRefereneHere
Woot utah! It's 8 if your smoking spirits. Thank God I don't live in new York! I thought 8 was expensive
MusicPirate
It's like almost 8 bucks a pack in CA.

What do you smoke? I switched to Winston's about 7 or 8 years ago and they were 2.70. Now even those are over 4.50 per pack

Pall mall, I'm starting to quit them for this reason... money.
TheRaiderofRandom
Which is why I smoke instead of having retirement plans.
nevergonnagivenevergonnagivafuck
I do both bro bro
Baja2185
Do you then vote to raise taxes on me and ask me to pay for your health insurance? Or "fight for 15"?
TheRaiderofRandom
I paid for my lung cancer treatment before I touched a damn cigarette. This is just getting my money's worth.
Baja2185
You had lung cancer BEFORE smoking?? That sucks
ItsOkayItsOfficial
$1.35 for a pack in Lebanon. He should have just moved.
swatz
Hell yeah, at that rate, the move would have paid for itself in 5 years. :)
ItsOkayItsOfficial
Right?! Or if he just kicks that habit up into high gear he'll just be dead in 5 years anyway!
swatz
save lots of money then. Always the best plan.
cockrockets
It's like at least $20 for a pack of 20s in Australia. Government puts the price up by a % every 6 months. I think its 30% every time
Shalala87
Aus also has plain packaging, graphic image warning labels, and at the counter they're all hidden out of sight in locked opaque cupboards
KahnNZ
$29 for a pack of 25 in NZ at the moment.
ReIegation
Does this deter people from buying cigarettes or does it end in them buying illegally?
cockrockets
Some customers ask for the price then walk out, but most say 'gee i need to quit can't afford it much longer' and buy a pack anyway.
Shalala87
I think it makes a difference, most people can't afford more than a pack a day. It squeezes people and families on low incomes though
ReIegation
I feel like it's a great thing to increase the price, more money to the state and less smoking by the people
ReIegation
I feel like it's a great thing to increase the price, more money to the state and less smoking by the people
ReIegation
On the other hand, in sweden our alcohol is sold only by a government owned company which taxes it a lot, this encourages people to buy 1/2
ReIegation
From places where it is cheaper and sell it illegally, which is both used by adults for cheaper booze but also gives easy access for minors
OldSaintDickolas
My ex smokes a pack every two or three days.
oceanskysforever
I was just like your ex. In Japan is costs about 15 dollars a week, I'm guessing in America that's closer to 30 or 40 dollars.
TheDiaryOfKimJongUn
Nah @ 3 packs a week youre lookin at between 15-20 bucks @ about 6 bucks a pack.
oceanskysforever
In Japan it's 4 80 a pack, conversion rate should bring it to about 4 bucks, but I get your point. Money is money anyway.
TheDiaryOfKimJongUn
u'd be hard pressed to find smokes @ 4 bucks a pack in the US in any area remotely urban. Id put the average price around $6 considering 1/2
LabyrinthCharm
My SO smokes and it's $53.03 for a carton of the cheapest ones at the cheapest place around here in New Mexico.
OldSaintDickolas
Yes sir! His new job has told him they will pay for him to get on chantex. We are still close so I'm keeping an eye on him for sure. 1/2
OldSaintDickolas
That stuff makes me hella nervous. Use to give my sister wicked mood swings.
oceanskysforever
I'm on day three of no smoking and hope to continue on this way. I've just started and stopped so many times :( Shit's hard.
OldSaintDickolas
After my surgery I got pretty nibble with the hydros. So much so that it would take two tens to get the same high. The withdrawals 1:2
OldSaintDickolas
Are just... you wake up pissed. You're hot you're cold. Then comes the tummy troubles. HORRIBLE headaches. Never again.
plainoldusername
I quit about 5 or 6 years ago. I cheated here and there for 1-2 yrs, then was good. Had a craving and bought a pack recently. Big mistake
oceanskysforever
Man I get it. Just keep fighting. Somehow it'll be worth it.
plainoldusername
That was 5ish weeks ago and I'm still fighting cravings. Nicotine is a persistent bitch
klown92
$10 a day would be about a pack and a half a day at the prices in Ohio right now

Everyone in the comments be like

I think newports generally go for about 9.00 here in California. Marlboro Reds you can get for like 5 a pack for now.

$13 a pack in Canada alberta
CloudberryMoose
Unless you guys killed the dollar while I wasn't looking, or your packs are huge that's insane. Cigars cost that much for a pack!
KaizerKilborn
They over tax cigarettes here in the USA as well as alcohol."sin tax"
CloudberryMoose
Cigarettes have a ridiculous tax here too, but 10-15 bucks a pack? That's twice sweden's cost. Swap to cigarillos, same price but stronger.
Nash489
Its about $28 a 25 pack in Australia, in 2 years taxes will be elevated so packs are $40. Convenience stores now charge about $35 for camels
pacodarjeeling
I'm an Australian in Japan right now. 20 packs for 400 yen - roughly exchanges into $5!
TheSacrificialButter
At what point is coke just cheaper?
WalrusCheese
Holy shit the prices are rising that much?
ChubbyMcFlurry
Packet of longbeach 40's for example are $42.50 with one more price rise on cigarette's due before Christmas.
UltimateAlloy
The government is taxing cigs in order to get people to quit. Oh and because it makes them heaps of money.
RaynWisp
Dealers do the same thing, except without the intention of clients quitting.
klown92
Correction: he spent about $15 a day which, for prices in my town, would be between 2-3 packs a day
sourcandy
That's one in my city
MajTommm
$4.40 for Marlboro in KY, $3.75 for off brands.
Wafflez413
Jeezus!!! They haven't been that price in Mass in about 10 years
SairaEm
The solution to this riddle is that OP is Canadian.
thatguyisreallydeep
A Canadian who's buying cigarettes in US dollars, it would seem.
sublime29
Do you live in 1995?

15$ = 1 pack in NYC
