Cigs cost at least $8.50 CDN and must be $65-70 per carton now plus tax at 13 per cent. Derek and I heard from a English friend that a carton must be about $148.00 now!!! D. still smokes but I quit 2 years ago. Just maybe stopping for a smoke while riding is a good break. But, then again...what will kill ya first?? The bike or smoking? Bike's are a lot more fun but I did enjoy the break that cig smoking provided. Now I go into a Blue Ridge scenic outlook and never hardly get off the bike!! Just ride in, look, "that's really nice", and ride out! Even with all the stress of the accident I never thought about having a smoke...they are right when they say you'll know when it's just your time to quit.
