Whats yours and whats the cost

Over the weekend I was talking to Joan (who like me is an ex-smoker)And we were talking about ciggies and the cost. I remember when I last smoked in 1978 I was smoking Embassy no1 at he time and they were 40p a packet of 20, think they cost considerably more now. So if you smoke what your poison and what do they cost, would be very interested

Its surprising JCB Willy Woodies were always the cheapest now they are one of the dearest, remember a mate of mine used to smoke woodies, he said it was because he didn't like big ciggies, that is until they started charging on strength not size then he changed to B & H, heard this morning that Capstan Full Strength are now about £8-50p for twenty

Hell fire .

I had a friend who smoked them . I enjoyed an occasional one off him . It was a good smoke . He used to dip the end of the fag into a tin of menthol tobacco , and it gave it a menthol flavour .

Really cheap here. It costs me around eleven euros for two hundred ciggies and it´s one euro fifty for a pack of tobacco.

It´s so easy to smoke too many but things may change when Spain changes it´s smoking rules next year.

Re: Whats yours and whats the cost

I stopped smoking in 1974 and was getting through 60 Senior Service a day.
No help at all, just said to myself "This is costing me a fortune, what a mug", I never smoked again after that and told people how easy it was to stop dead, ( I was not telling the truth) and I didn't dare start again for fear of people taking the mickey.
After about a year I had saved up so much money that I managed to sell a two litre Ford Capri and buy Jack Walkers two year old BMW 5.25 for cash.
If my wife stopped we would have a Rolls Royce in the garage now.

Re: Whats yours and whats the cost

I smoke way less than I used to. Now I smoke "Chiefs" which I purchase on the Rez: that's on the Tyendenaga Mohawk First Nations Territory. They cost about $12.00 a carton of 200; you can do the conversion. There are cheaper ones, at around $8.00 A carton; but, I like "Chiefs". If I were silly enough to buy them in the local store, I get premium brands at $7.50 a pack of 25. But on the Rez there is no tax. One can buy premium brands of Canadian or American cigs tax free on the Akwesasne Mohawk Territory which is in Quebec, Ontario, and New York State.
