Well done, I'm off them a few years now too, since Jan 2021. I just did a quick calculation and apparently I've saved almost €20,000..............that can't be right, can it? :worry:

Depends how much you used to spend. If I times mine by 5 years it’ll be around £15,000 saved.

I think so if not more. I smoked rolling tobacco which was around £20 for a 30g pouch.

Sometimes but that was UK price at start of year. It’s gone up since then. I think it’s like £23-£27 now.

I did try that before but the last time I gave up I just went cold Turkey, I didn't want to have to give up another thing after the ciggies and tbh I don't know how safe those vapes are either
