It usually takes a lot of work and emotional energy for a long time smoker to quit. Some can quit without much trouble but for most its a long painful slog - often several painful slogs because most ppl quit several times before it sticks. If your dad makes up his mind to do it - give him all the help you can - until then stay off his back. Sheesh, last time I looked it was about $4 a pack - so your dad is smoking like $6 a day. If you can afford weed you can afford cigs - stop sounding like the fucking church lady!
6 american dollars = 10 australian dollars
a day... d=10

per week.. 10x7=70 (thats around 10% of my dads pay he could spend on somthing he likes)

per year 70x52= $3640

per decade... 3640x10= 36400 (quarter of our house)

put simply...
Dx355 = a low paying job

yea im sorry to be a fucking nag. i mean worrying about the fact that my dad is killing himself slowly and painfully!! how could i not just accept that! yea im sure that if your dad was on crack people would call you a church lady to try to get him off it! and i know that extreme but same princable only cracks quicker.
