How Many Bikers Smoke?

**Eurygnomes** · 25th August 2005, 11:51

I like the fact that I can go out and not have to put all of my clothes in the laundry immediately upon my return home (otherwise they made the room smell). I like being able to eat without the smell of smoke.

I'm an ex-smoker (I guess) who picks it up and puts it down from time to time. Recently started having puffs of friends cigarettes again, but a bout of flu got rid of any desires along those lines. Will occasionally fall mouthfirst onto a the filter end of a lit cigarette while out - but have to be really influenced by alcohol.

The cost of cigarettes is so high here. When I first smoked (13 - in the Middle East) you could get a pack of Marlboro Light 100's for NZ$2. No wonder all us kids did it. I hate living in a house with a smoker - unless they've already decided to smoke outside. (and I notice that many have made that decision).

Yay to the people who've given up - it DOES take willpower if you're addicted. Fortunately, I never was. Just orally obsessed...

Have a $50 a week savings account that I refer to as my cigarette money.
Mate of mine quit when I pointed out that he was spending more on smokes in a week than bike repayments would be... He now owns a GSXR 750, but can’t afford cigarettes!
Let see, $50 per week is $200 a month so that’s $2,400 a year... What’s the deposit on a new bike? Bout 20%? One I want is about $14k new so 20% is $2,800, and I have the Bandit as a trade in.
Blue I think, a nice new (ex-demo?) blue Kawasaki Z750.
So a pack is $10, and you go through a pack a day... $3,650 a year!
Its so hard being a smug basted, somehow I find the time!
