Exactly what I did. I quit the day my first grandson was born, he's 19 years old now. Set aside cigarette money for a long time, bought lots of toys with my tobacco $$$$

When i got discharged fm Marine Corp i bought 50 cartons of Camel non filter cigs.....cost ..... $5.00 ..... smoked for a couple years, quite when i started xc skiing. I check traps on skiis for years also used snowshoes. When i got a bit older 70 some i used snomo, saved energy for chiseling thru 2 foot of ice bvering !

Both are out of my price range. I own 8 fire arms and their total value or purchase price was not close to $4.300 and I have had a lot of enjoyment with them. I did smoke for 21 years, but quit 32 years ago.

I have a co-worker who kept talking about buying a shotgun , no kidding he would talk about going to dinner with his wife getting a bottle of wine and dropping 200 for dinner and tip. when he came back to work Monday morning.
Or about buying cases of a 20 dollar a bottle wine

dude , just skip one fancy dinner and have a tool for a life time

but 300 for a mossberg (probably 10-12 years ago) he himmed and hawed about for a few years , finally he bough his brothers Mossberg 500 from him.

Grandma quit when smokes went up to 25 cents a pack save quarters in a jar for 2 years and bought a mink coat she was still wearing it a few years ago.

if it helps you quit it is good

well and a fur coat is always good

I would wager that poor diet kills more than smoking cigarettes.
I started young watching the Marlboro man on TV and smoked cigarettes ,cigars and chewed but quit about ten years ago.
All my friends smoke and have yet to see one die of smoking but I am sure their days are numbered just like mine.

Glad I quit, I think cigarettes were around $4.00 a pack when I quit.

Especially if you blow smoke in my face!
