14 bucks a pack is roughly the price of smokes in the great white north. Back when I visited Michigan to visit a friend in 2018, a pack down there was 7.95, which was still half of what I could get across the border at home. Always bought the soft packs, was challenged at a Buffalo Wild Wings to eat the spiciest wing flavour. Did it without flinching, so the guys I was with bought me another pack. Felt like fiberglass when inhaling the suckers, can't even find Camels or American Spirits at certain corner shops like I used to, though.

Good on you for quitting-- I'm far too stubborn to do so, and thanks for sharing the story.

I loved these back when I used to smoke. Then they upped the price to 14 bucks a pack and I lost interest in smoking. I still find loose tobacco in some of my pockets. They sell the filtered ones for much less but they are NOT the same blend and taste like wiener. Thank you for sharing this!
