Times that by 365 and you'd have a tidy sum.
Quit and think about all the great gear you'd have to buy!

Not to mention the 10-20 years you'll get back.

WARNING Sigornry Weaver was smoking in Avatar. Don't let your kids see it as advised by CBS Sunday Morning today. Don't let anyone see To Have and Have Not with Bogart and Bacall.better ban Animal Crackers with the Marx brothers I noticed watching it today Harpo was lit up. How much already made cinema art will we throw away because we can't get past the smoking?

My fav!
My $2000 lens buy's x packs of smokes.
My $2000 camera body buy's me x packs of smokes.
My $1500 lighting kits and gear buy's me x packs of smokes.
Gee this list is getting out of hand, I could get up to $10,000 if I keep thinking about this. That might be a lifetime of cig's.
:D

I have no idea, I quit smoking back in 1983. I'm not even sure how much they cost then.

$5 a pack? Not completely sure, as I do not smoke, but I think it's over $10 here.
Edit: This article says $10.

It's around $10.00 here as well.
Thats $3650.00 a year. Times that by 10 years and your talking $36,550.00;)

$10,000 = 2000 packs (if $5 each)
1 pack a day out of 2000 = 5.5 years of smoking.
$5 saved each day for 30 days is $150 bucks, or about $10K every 5 years.
Of course, each pack has 20 cigs, so if you only smoke 5 in a day, the pack lasts 4 days.
Then you might get 20 years of smokes for $10K.
For some, 20 years is a lifetime - so they dont get back any years for stopping. lol
