Read it, actually. Great book. But the problem is, I don't want to quit.
I like smoking! It's part of me. I feel no need to justify it. Obviously I am concerned about the health effects but do try and mitigate where I can, plus have some faith that cures will emerge.
Don't really know what else to say. Oh yes, do-gooders..
I hate those do-gooders too. However, I'm in Australia and I pay fucking 40c+ tax for every single cigarette. I am not kidding. This fact fills me with a righteous fury, which is frequently and hilariously unleashed upon anyone who dares question any aspect of my behaviour.
Funnily enough, in Japan, where I'm not taxed for smoking, I'm much better behaved.
If I remember in the book he says his technique won't work unless you want to quit.
How much are cigs in Australia these days? I just noticed the ones I used to smoke here in SF are up to 7 dollars a pack at my corner store. ($5.50 when I quit)
I had the opposite experience in Japan. I smoked the most there. The smokes were cheap and you could smoke nearly anywhere. It was weird if you didn't smoke - and this wasn't even 10 years ago.
A 20-pack is around AUD$10. The exchange rate varies but basically you can consider that equivalent to $10 USD to us. Very high. Still, not high enough to deter me : )
Yeah, Japan is fantastic, that's half the reason I moved there : ) Smoking section in McDonalds! Awesome! Prices there are 320Y for a 20-pack. I get my friends to send me cartons when they remember, but it's no big deal.
JP is beginning to succumb to westerner tastes, though, so looks like the next stop might be China.
