Here's my confession. I am a smoker, and have been doing so since I was 11. At that time, there was no such law prohibiting underaged smoking. Marijuana has always been banned here. I've tried a couple of times, but now no longer. I did try to quit smoking tobacco, twice, but not successful. My parents found out about my habits when I was 12. They were obviously not happy, but slowly they are ok about it. I still smoke at home.
Back when I was younger a small pack cost about $2.10 per pack, and over the years, the price increases and until November last year, the same small pack cost $4.80. Now we no longer get small packs here. A Marlboro Menthol Lights big pack costs about $8.30 early this year, but again it has risen to $9.50. But I still buy them. It can last me for 2 1/2 days. When I go clubbing, I can finish the same in a day.
