    Default what I did with my first two cartons of cigarettes.

    I have been sober (smoke free) for over two months now. Realizing that I now have an extra $150 to spend; I went craiglisting shopping. (usually it is ebaying). I am visiting a friend in upstate New York and for the past few months, I found myself looking for a feather weight in the year that I was born. I know what you are thinking, what year is it??? no no no - not telling !! I just wanted to share my "happy dance".

    I quit in 2000, so have been "clean and smoke free" for over 11 years. It's such a freeing experience!! Good for you, and you'll so enjoy having the extra $$ to indulge yourself.

    Congratulations!!! Besides the money you will begin to notice other little things that will make you happy you stopped. I have been smoke free since 1987, and every time I have a cold I thank God that quit.

    Congratulations on quitting. You should be proud of yourself. I hope you find a machine born the same year as you.

    Keep away from those cigs, and enjoy your new freedom! Smoking to me was like a ball and chain around my ankle.

    Congratulations on Quitting. I never smoked in my life and guess who has lung cancer and it probably helped with other peoples smoke. So you are not just saving yourself but someone else also. - J
