Eithier way that's a heap of money to burn a year and the prices are only going to keep going up, not to mention they changed the taste when they changed the packets.

Funny thing is.... I gave up smoking 4 years ago.
I saw the prices of a carton the other day..................... $150 WTF!!! Thats madness! My first packet of Longbeach 20's was $2.80 and I was buying cartons for around $20. That was around 20 yrs ago.
Much better off to quit, I feel so much better for it. But word of warning, if your not naturally thin, dont take up another habit like eating kitkats when you fel like a smoke. 20kgs later..
Easy to put it on in 6mths, it has taken 3.5 yrs to take it off.
Stick with the cold turkey, its the best way to do it. Takes around 2-3 weeks for the cravings to stop.

As for quitting; good on you man.. But if you or your wife ever feel the need to smoke again I suggest getting an E-cig each, for the sake of your health and wallet.

You can get a good starter kit on vapebar.com for the price of two 50g pouches that includes the 'cigarette juice' of your choice.
Each to their own, good luck quitting man.. Just think of all the awesome equiptment/fish you'll be able to afford.

However, you can order nicotine online at many different online stores (upto $1000 worth at a time) which you mix with the e-juice if desired,
Personally I don't like to use nicotine as I don't see the point in quitting if you still consume nicotine.
Your e-cig sounds like its the cartomizers type where as mine are all clearomisers.

Took me three years of trying to really trully beat smoking and genuinly be able to say im a non smoker. No way my kids are gonna grow up with a dad that smokes or a dad that died of lung cancer due to smoking!
Good luck to you, quitting really is the best thing you can do.

I used patches. They saved me tearing anyone's head off, and made me quite ill if I smoked with one on. Only did that once.
24 hour patches. Every week or two I'd cut them smaller. This was before vaping, but if I was doing again, I'd still do it that way.
Amaaazing dreams on nicotine patches: can recommend.
I still miss it occasionally. Everyone tells me I was way more relaxed back then, and be prepared to pork up a bit (or a lot) when you give up.

On March 3 1993 at 6pm I went to put my lotto on, the girl behind the counter stepped back because of the tobacco smell so I decided to go cold turkey. I didn't win lotto but I haven't touched a cigarette since that moment.
Cold turkey is easy if you really want to give up the smokes, if your pressured into it you will have a hard time.
Cheers and good luck Terry
