Anyway, $182.5 x $5 a day = $912.50

Imagine spending a grand on smoking each year... just to waste away your health.

And that's a best case scenario. Chances are, if you're hooked... it'll be more than half a pack, and $5 is cheap....

So save the money... put it towards something more useful.
$5... I wish... my last pack cost me $9.50
