The bonfire is now closed. Thanks to all who had contributed.  We had a total of 53 people and our final count was........

2,429,876!! Just look at that number!! It you take the US average of $5.51 a pack (much higher in other states) x it by 121,493 packs that we DID NOT buy, tobacco companies and state (tax) lost a whopping $669,430.84 from all of us. WOOOOOO HOOOOOO!!!

Thanks to everyone that posted music, food and comments. We did this all together!!!

About the Author
I am 51 yrs old and live in the Greater Cleveland area. I started smoking at a young age. I think it was more peer pressure at that time and just a few cigarettes a day until i became "LEGAL" to smoke. I then started smoking a pack or more a day, using stress as my excuse to smoke more. In reality, I realized after i quit smoking that there is no excuses for smoking. I am approaching 4 yrs next month, but I still have to work to protect my quit. I am here on Ex faithfully helping others and in return helps me. We call it here on Ex "Collateral Kindness" here is a link to my blog, 1 yr later that explained my trials in the the beginning of my quit. https://excommunity.becomeanex.org/blogs/ShawnP-blog/2013/03/14/one-year-later
