The trend that manufacturers are using to beat the recession and us?

They are giving us less but charging us more.

Remember when a half gallon of ice cream meant two quarts?

Now they give us 1 1/2 quarts and charge the same or more.

Remember when a half gallon of orange juice was 64oz. Now they are packaging in in 59oz bottles.

Now, Cigarette companies are adding more nicotine to give us more bang for our buck.

Don't you think we should be praising big tobacco for doing everything in their power to keep us hooked?

Praise Big Tobacco!!!

Hello, My name is Dale. I was quit 18 months before joining this site and had participated on another site during that time. I learned a lot there and brought it with me. I joined this site the first week of August 2008. I didn't pressure myself to quit. HOW I QUIT I didn't count, I didn't deny myself to get started. When I considered quitting (at a friends request to influence his brother to quit), I simply told myself to wait a little longer. No denial, nothing painful. After 4 weeks I was down to 5 cigarettes from a pack a day. The strength came from proving to myself, I didn't need to smoke because I normally would have smoked. Simple yes? I bought the patch. I forgot to put one on on the 4th day. I needed it the next day but the following week I forgot two days in a row I put one in my wallet with a promise to myself that I would slap it on and wait an hour rather than smoke. It rode in my wallet my first year.There's nothing keeping any of you from doing this. It doesn't cost a dime. This is about unlearning something you've done for a long time. The nicotine isn't the hard part. Disconnecting from the psychological pull, the memories and connected emotions is. :-) Time is the healer.
