Thanks for reading and commenting on that post @dennis287 .
Just for fun last month when I was at the grocery store, I checked out the price on my former favorite brand of cigarettes.
They were $10/pack.
At a pack/day that's $3650 a year. This year, on January 8th, will be my eight years quit date.

You say in 2026 (I assume you meant 2025 since today is only the 4th day of 2026) you spend no less than $7200/year?
You also say you are a 2X cancer survivor.
That's a blessing and a gift. I'm not sure where your cancer(s) were, but I bet the treatments you went through on that journey were not easy.
No cancer treatment is without suffering.
Yet here you are!
I am not sure what you meant by your "now your mindset is What the Hell" after all you've been through...do you mean despite surviving cancer twice, you still smoke?
OR do you mean after smoking for 45 years you quit and STILL got cancer?

We are all so different @dennis287, and each one of us gets to decide what we will do with our gift of this life.
Where are you in your smoking career? Still at it? Or finally quit?
