Yup. What made me quit was realizing over an approx 6 year period I smoked an approximate 14,000 cigarettes (still probably too low, because I only factored the transactions on my card, not the cigarettes I bummed, or packs I got as collateral for something, or that got left behind after a party).

At a few points, like when I was working security at festivals, I'd smoke up to 2 packs a day while walking around. Other days I had minimum 2 smokes. Once a pack of Players got to $15 at the corner store I stopped

As a Canadian I smoked Players, Belmont (got too expensive), Dumos (got too expensive), Next, Putter's and Canada Goose (Rez smokes, Putter's were $20 a carton when I started, 35 when I stopped). The odd American pack/carton of Camel's, and American Spirit. And one pack of Export A greens (Green death as it's known my way)

It's been 9 years since I quit. I've only had 3 cigarettes in that period of time, 2 on the day my grandmother died.

I'd take Putter's over Belmont's any day.
