Buy a Yaris, Quit Smoking

After smoking for way too many years, and opening a white-hot, stinking car with a full ashtray in the middle of August in Georgia, I decided not to smoke in the Yaris. I've had the car 7 months, haven't smoked in it at all... even with the windows open.

Finally went the extra step. QUIT smoking entirely, 2 months now. Now I can use the extra "cigarette money" for goodies for my car!

Tried cold turkey, tried cutting down, tried wellbutrin. None of them worked. Tried the latest drug (chantix) & it works! Kills the urge for nicotine in the brain so you can smoke as much as you want, but you don't HAVE to or even want to. I can even still hang with the smokers at work & not go nuts.

it's fun to smoke while in a party or some thing like that, not everyday.

Gosh I remember smoking those cloves. I remember that smell from parties mostly. Seems like that is a weekend smoke for most. I was a Camelhead. I smoked Filter 100's for many years and then dropped to the lights cuz I thought the 100's looked awfully silly. Yeah it's all about looking cool and getting a buzz off some tobacco. Your clothes stink, your house, your car, your breath, your an addict, your suffocating yourself-breathe damnit breathe

Take your life back and trash those disgusting cancer sticks! Then you'll have more money to fill up your tank.

back in the 90's I could get a pack of smokes and enough gas to get around all day for 5 bucks 1.40 a pack and .88 cents a gallon, those were the days

plenty of money left over for a dime bag and a 40 ounce Old English

yeah I'm glad I grew up
