So DH and I both smoke and have quit and started on and off and are now commited to QUITING for good! (We both jsut turned 30 ) So after adding it up-BTW I never broke it down this way..We have 238 days until we leave at $4.75/ pack at one pack a day=2261-6 nights 2 room pref view at PC $1660.00 leaves us with $601 for tix, airfare or whatever! We always seem to come up with cig money there is no reason we can't put this money to the WDWFund! Holy Cow we spent a lot of money on smoking! I just hope we can really quit for good this time!!!

That was my incentive to quit too. Everytime I wanted a cigarette I just pictured myself at the GF. They cost $6 a pack in NJ so I just figured out that in one year I saved enough (with AP rates) to pay off our reservation. It's tough but just keep imagining yourself walking down Main Street.

Congrats on quitting & what a great reward to have as a goal!

Good for you!

Hope you do it!!!

Wow! If I had to pay that much for a pack of cigs I would quit too! I only pay $2.69 for name brand. Though I have seriously thought about quitting since I know I won't be smoking at the parks. Don't want to lose precious ride time standing in the smoking areas!

Good for you...and stay strong..you can do it!!!

Congratulations on your decision to quit! What a great way to fund your WDW trip and take a health-saving step at the same time. Now, if only I could fund my WDW trip by giving up my chocolate addiction...

Congrats! I didn't realize it was such an expensive habit...If I could just give up my Starbucks!

 

[CheapMom]

That's a definate win / win tip!
just remember- it gets easier after a while.
Good luck!

Good for you. DH and I should quit too. Maybe if I showed him your idea, we will. They are over $10 CAD a pack here. We "roll" our own but it still costs $57 a week. Holy crap, just typing that gets me thinking.

You really can do it! I was a half pack a day smoker for 20 years and I did.

Remember if the weaker of you two gives in and starts up again...the strong one will be an idol in the weaker one's eyes...and eventually the inspiration for giving up their own habit.

I'm coming up on my 3rd smoke-free anniversary. I'm doing fine but if I had quit when I was 30 I would still be able to sing (impaired breath control so I can't sustain a note after singing a phrase)...and I'd be able to walk faster without getting winded...although this is ever so slowly improving each year.

God I wish I had quit when I was 30.

Good for you...I love how you turned it into a positive-being able to go to Disney. I would get the vacation dvd from Disney and some pictures (for free) to keep you motivated.

Congrats! You CAN do it!!!! I quit 18 years ago after a 3 pack a day habit (yes, you read that right). It's tough, but it can be done. WDW is a great incentive!

 

[Stepharoonie!]

Good for you! That's a great goal!!
