Dear-oh-dear... 3rd new guitar since January

I hear you guys  :D although my particular habit's only about £15 a week - I smoke roll-ups. I have done the maths many times over the years: it's £780 a year for me at the moment - yeah it is "another guitar" but I can live with that, I see it as not a lot different than if was spending that much on alcohol (I'm not, that's £2-£3, if that, a week!) or chocolate or something.

When I was younger I tried to use the finance argument to stop smoking -either as reward, or because I couldn't afford the heating or whatever - but it never worked for me, I could always find cash for fags and guitar strings. Now I'm not so poor... (and don't particularly want to stop either - that's the key part) ... no chance of it working!

Now if it really was £200 a month... a) I'd be kicking meself! b) It's possible I would consider stopping for financial reasons! I agree with you Jonathan, you putting it like that - I'm shocked to realise that there are people who spend that much on smoking.


I smoked roll ups with contraband tobacco for years and gave them up last Christmas and feel a lot better for it! That 780 a year would still pay sround 75% of a custom Feline!

Nice Guitar!!
