I am cheap enough that I would have quit when a carton hit ~$30. I never smoked since both my parents did and I hated coming home from sports practice after school to a layer of smoke in the living room. My dad quit at about 58 after a biopsy scare. My mom kept up until about 74, and cut down to about a pack a month, then two a week. She still uses the gum in her 80's.
