I save 30 bucks a day and don't have to run outside to light up, or risk a wreck when a butt lands in my lap while driving.

I no longer have those little holes in my clothes, and my cats aren't coughing. I'm not coughing either.

Stick with it-- it ain't easy, but a lot of things worthwhile ain't easy.
