Here in Australia a few years ago the government rose the cost of ciggarettes from 12 dollars AUD per pack of smoke to 14 Dollars per pack of smokes. Reason being that they want to encourage more people to quit smoking.
NOW they have risen it to 24 dollars a packet! Looks like this method is working. I hope that other places in the world do this too! I predict that America will follow through first!
I have been 609 days without the smokes and it's moments like these I am glad I don't light up anymore!
