I'd given up cigs for years then went through some stressful times so one day I thought "oh i'll buy a pack just for today". I nearly dropped when I was asked for nearly £10, I used to pay about £5 and the regal I used to smoke is about £12.50 these days. Cripes!Hi Mike and welcome to the planet.
as long as you prefer vape to cigs then your going in the right direction.
