I wish you could just buy single cigarettes rather than always getting a pack. I feel that's a big part of the problem right there.

It would be like only being able to buy wine in boxes of 20, or beers in crates of 30. Once you have it, you're much more likely to use it. I just want a beer or a bottle of wine this Friday evening, and maybe after that I want a cigarette. And that's it.



Absolutely. You could taper off really easily with loosies while with 20 packs, you end up smoking the whole thing and get addicted again.

yeah I'm not sure how banning sale of loosies is protecting the kids. At 30, I get carded almost always when I buy a pack and almost never when I buy alcohol. If someone is selling to kids, they wouldn't care about this law anyway.
