Amazing isn't it? I just looked at Quitkeeper and see that in 191 days since I quit, I have saved over £ 2,600 :eek:.

The biggest cost of smoking is giving up your life,but I do wonder how people can afford to pay up to £7 a packet, I think even though I have quit and don't need to worry about it, it is still disgusting that in a way the government are creating an inaccessible drug and we all know what happens then don't we, if like we are told its as addictive as heroin then eventually there will be crimes committed to feed the habit.

So come on Mr Chancellor of the Exchequer, the Rt Hon George Osborne MP (who decides he is honourable) think about the cost, not every one wants to quit and you shouldn't be trying to force them as that is just taking away there human right to choice, and trying to force someone to quit smoking will not work as we all know it has to be a decision you are in agreement with and comfortable about.

The tax is disgusting :rolleyes:

Who cares about the tax when you don't have to pay it any more!
