Still Waters Posted April 20, 2014 #1 Share Posted April 20, 2014 A nine-year-old boy has asked for help from his local NHS trust to help him quit smoking. The unnamed youngster first tried a cigarette at school, where he wanted to "fit in" and look cool, but he became addicted. http://www.telegraph...it-smoking.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+and-then Posted April 21, 2014 #4 Share Posted April 21, 2014 I don't know how he could afford them.It's the best part of £5 for a packet of 10 REALLY? How does anyone afford them there? Here you can get 20 for less than that. I remember 25 cents per pack - 5 dollars for a carton of 20 packs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aztek Posted April 21, 2014 #7 Share Posted April 21, 2014 i quit when a pack of parlament was $12 in nyc. it was about 5 years ago. in theory i saved $250-300 a month, but in reality, never seen those savings. my guess, as i stopped spending on cigs, i started spending more on something else, kids growing up, want more toys, need more clothes...etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
