• Even a pack a day is $1,300 per year, which is $23,000 by the time your kid goes to college.
• Smoking related diseases are nasty, costly and usually fatal.
• You can't smoke in many public places.
• Even short flights are intolerable when you combine boredom with nicotine addiction.
• It's socially frowned upon, largely thanks to the stench, teeth yellowing and inconvenience.
