How the heck did I even afford to smoke???

I just now for the first time calculated how much I spend yearly on cigarettes (and other smokeables) and I'm shocked. I guess I never actually did the math before because subconsciously I knew it was bad. It's almost $7,000! I have one cigarette left in my pack and I really really want to quit right now but I also really really want to smoke it. I've been smoking since I was 16 and I've never really disliked anything about it, except stupid cancer which my thyroid has already fell victim to, but it's so hard for me to just let it go. It's almost like a friend that has always been there for me when I needed to (or felt like I needed to) get away, you know?
