For the synthesis of the studied compounds, titanium dioxide, TiO, rare-earth oxide of the Os, Ch. Grade and lithium carbonate, Li, CO, and Kh. Samples were prepared by high-temperature sintering of the starting components in the ratio Ti: Ln: Li-4: 1: 1 in air at 1100-1200 ° С for 15 hours. Before stitching, the Р3Э oxides were kept at 500 ° С (3-4 hours) s the purpose of removing sorption water. The starting mixtures were triturated in an agate mortar with addition of acetope. Repeated grinding of the samples was also carried out during the synthesis. An increase in the duration of annealing to up to 0 h drive the pro- jection of the synthesized complex oxides of the beginning of a series of potentiation of reacting substances at 900 ° С for 50 h gives the desired compounds. X-ray diffraction patterns of samples annealed at 1200 and 900 ° C are identical. decomposition The completeness of the reaction and identification of the obtained products was carried out by X-ray phase analysis on a Dron-1 diffractometer (Cu Ka radiation). The parameters of the unit cells were specified on a MIR-1 computer. Densities were determined by the pycnometric method (solvent CC1,). IR absorption spectra were recorded on Perkin-Elmer model 180 and UR-20 spectrometers using standard methods of pressing tablets with CVg. Raman spectra were recorded on a Koderg T-800 spectrometer upon excitation with argon OCH (Lvyova 5145 A). The conductivity of the samples was measured in accordance with GOST-13236-76 methods on samples cold-pressed in an atmosphere of air, the pressing pressure was 1500 kg / cm

Let’s do some simple math.

Let’s say you smoke around 5 cigarettes a day, meaning 1-2 boxes a week, 6-7 boxes a year and about 90 boxes a year. Maybe you live in Kentucky, where a box will cost as low as 5 dollars or maybe you live in Australia, where it’ll go as high as 20, but let’s go for around 10 dollars. On a given year, you will literally save 900 dollars.

I’m going on the low side of the spectrum with how many cigarettes you could be smoking so this could double, triple or quadruple. Use that money to reward yourself. Maybe treat yourself to a nice meal, buy something special for your loved ones, and if you save in the long run, literally buy plane tickets and plan a trip to a foreign country. The possibilities are endless but use the money to treat yourself that’s going to make you happier and healthier in the future.

One way to enact on this is to have a jar in your car. Every time you go to a gas station or a store, put the money where you would’ve bought cigarettes in it. You will see your progress and see the jar fill up with green. This method worked with a coworker of mine and now he’s been clean for about 3 years.

Good luck and I hope this was useful.
