"What a waste"

Hi everyone, the other day i went over a mate's place to help him out with some building work. This person been a friend for at least 30yrs and is a smoker. I had to put up all day with the horrible stench each time he lit up and even when i moved a fair distance away it was still such an annoying smell. Went into kitchen for drink of water and noticed on cupboard a 5 pack Champion Ruby tobacco. I said to my friend that i noticed the tobacco. He replied "yes just spent $340 tobacco, papers etc. I told him he could have bought something nice for himself at this time of year than waste it. He did not appreciate my comments but our friendship is still good. The point i am making is that as quitters we still need to respect the wishes of someone who continues to smoke. It is a personal choice. But, i look at it as a waste of money in my friend's situation. But, once again that is my point of view since i have been quit. Cheers everyone.
