B. It was me who pays ~$9.00/pack



I paid over $10 for a pack last Friday at the 7-11 by my work. You best believe I'm hoofing it to the Walgreens down the street (probably 3 blocks away) from now on - that was ridiculous.



I used to say that when I lived in Pittsburgh and it was $4.00 a pack. It's still pretty cheap there, about $5.00. I have a friend who does send me care packages from time to time.

I've cut back (from 1/2 pack per day to 1/4) and I'm glad for that but I'm still not ready to quit. Oh well, I guess the City of Chicago, Cook County, and the State of Illinois will continue to get more of my tax dollars. At this point, I figure I've got myself a nice stretch of pavement I paid to resurface on 90/94.



If Nicorette works (by the way, it's about $32 a pack for the patches), it's a higher short term cost but a lower long-term cost (in terms of health and wealth). At least that's their angle.

Also, I tried to post this response last night, but the power was out.

I hate when my boss starts sentences with "Dude" but I think that's mostly because she's trying to look "young" or "hip."

More like "broken hip."

My SO bought Nicorette last week...whether or not he will actually cut down on cigarettes remains to be determined, but I told him if he does I'll buy it too so we can quit at the same time. I did the math so that he would shut up about how much the box of gum costs and it's definitely way less than he spends on cigs in a week.

I say dude because a) I am still young and b) I apparently have very little control over my mouth.
