I remember when a carton of ‘Boro’s was...four dollars?

Most popular brand in Vietnam, I recall.

Anyway, smoking’s an expensive habit. I quit in 1980. June 15th, to be exact. God was merciful; He just reached down and turned off any desire for another smoke, and that was that.

I remember when Chesterfields were 23cents. My father would buy them at a machine for a quarter and there would be 2 pennies taped to the pack. My dad would give me the 2 cents.

That's exactly how it went for me. It's like a switch was turned off.
