It's illegal and I'd prefer not to get mouth cancer. There's No licence to grow tobacco here either. May as well grow something healthier. https://www.ato.gov.au/General/The-fight-against-tax-crime/Our-focus/Illicit-Tobacco/

a pack of twenty costs $30 au..most of it tax. Cost of cigs increases 12% PA..the idea is that you outprice the user and it works. The cost, while not the driving factor was a big part of why I decided to stop. Interesting submission https://tobaccocontrol.bmj.com/content/27/2/229

The smell thing doesn't always apply. people at work are surprised to know I was a 10-15 a day smoker. Simple.  I don't smoke in the car, I dont smoke anywhere other than my balcony before and after work and i don't smoke around non smokers (which is almost everyone). so no one notices. Back...

Yeah, some of us grow up.

It's odd. The nicotine addiction doesn't seem to get me much. I don't get cranky, have headaches or even crave the stuff much. It the psychological triggered that trip the need.. If I'm busy ...I dont smoke..simple. little mini breaks..finish a task..have a cig, trick is to find a cig...

I've given up every year since then :D This time I think I might just stay Quit. They say it takes a few goes. I know now..I'm no different than anyone else. You really can't "just have one"
