Supermarket checkout!!!

Well yesterday in the local supermarket, one check out where the smokes are situated behind the looming doors one where no smoking items were sold.

Ooooh ever if I say my self ( and I know I shouldn't) but I felt a little smug passing the long queue, for cigarettes. No queue at my no smoking check out.

Felt great

Hilarious :)

I was in Tesco's with my wife & called at the fag counter & asked the price of a particular brand.

£9.48p for 20 came the reply, the girl then asked me how many I wanted.

Oh no I don't want any, just seeing how much I'm saving !!!!

She was a very good sport & actually applauded my quit.

Haha that great Gus I smoked roll ups so my running totals are less it amazes me how much people spent on cigarettes with me is was about £17 a week but my dad was a heavy smoker and he was spending just over £150 a week on smoking its shocking really he says hes not sure how he even afforded that much, but hes stopped now has been for 4 years although still sucks a lozenge but at a cost of £5 a week he says hes happy to suck, but amazing what costs can add up x

Yeah I almost always walk past the smoking queue and think how great it is not to have to wait

14 months ago I was spending £70 a week easily.

That on it's own is reason to quit !

Wow gus, what a saving! I was roll-ups too, Tracey - it was still too expensive for me though!

I'm quite happy to see that cigarettes are behind hidden behind doors and that more and more restrictions are being put in place to prevent people from smoking in truly public places. I wouldn't go quite as far as this French spoof but I do recognize the need to raise awareness of the devastating effects of smoking.

Not what you're looking for?
