Well, most people who know me would say its the last thing that can happen but I quit smoking 4 months ago. I've been passionate smoker since I was 14, and I'm 36 now. Thats 22 years of smoking at least 2 packs a day, on weekends when I go out it could easily go up to 4 packs.
My main reason for quiting is what I lately get for my money. For example: Lucky Strike currently costs around 2.1 euros for a pack of 20. Real factory price of that pack is around 0.8 euros and and rest is tariffs. However, we used to have domestic made cigarettes in Serbia which were cheap crap on one side and imported quality ones on the other. But since international companies bought our domestic industry and started making cigs here, everything we have here effectively became cheap crappy domestic product, just with fancy brand on it. Old domestic brands vanished, and there is very little if any difference between various currently sold products (whatever you buy, it tastes the same). I started to often find uncut tobacco branches inside a cig too, and too often in a pack of 20 cigs I get 1 or 2 broken or badly assembled. So I decided its enough, I would rather have a pack of American Marlboro for $10 than domestic made one for $1, but because there is no way to have it, I quit smoking :)
