I mean **** that but **** menthols too. This is the cig equivalent of "I don't agree with your opinion but I'll fight to the death for your right to smoke it."

thats what im trying to get my family member to do, they are spending a lot of money on the drug(cigarettes) and its just not worth it.

i think MTV does a great job with their campaigns about "be the generation to stop smoking"

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

If you are only concerned with the financial side then just get a vape.

£35 a week on cigarettes or £2 a week on liquid? Tough one.
