I think we've saved a boatload of money.

People reporting they make them happy. Many long covid sufferers saying they help.

I stopped smoking years ago by using skoal. After a few years of chewing I switched to spearmint gum and stopped chewing tobacco. It worked for me.

I take it you haven’t priced cigs recently.
