I need some tools.  Maybe should take up smoking and then quit.  So, if I intend to smoke for ten years but quit after one month do I get nine years and 11 months worth of purchasing power.

Good for you, I quit over 3 years ago and the money not spent on smokes just goes elsewhere so I'm no further ahead in a sense of having more money.  Everybody is different.

Great job man. I quit cold turkey after smoking 2 packs of colts a day for ten years.  Never felt better.

Know it's hard but keep it up. Worth it!! More money for exotic woods.

i gave up smoking 'bout 30 year ago, wish I had saved all that money!   :knothead:  could have bought a whole new workshop with today's cigarette prices. Great effort and well deserved!

Congrats! That's a trade I'd gladly make.
Plant a fruit or nut tree today, and have good hunting tomorrow.
