Glad to hear that your son is doing good. As far as chewing tobacco goes, I know that it's bad for you, but if he insists on doing it, talk to him about something called snus. You put it in your upper lip and discard it after about a half hour. It comes in a pouch. No spitting required and it's far less harmful than dip. I, personally, like the General brand. It's from Sweden.

He's already got a brand. Skoal Longcut regular. He smokes cigarettes, when he's not at school, and like me and my husband he smokes Marlboro Red. He used to date a girl who smoked Capri Menthol Light 120s. Now that was a strange cigarette for real. My oldest daughter smokes too, and my youngest doesn't really, only socially, sometimes. I've told her like I told all them, never start, it's expensive and you'll kill for it if need be.

It costs about $25 per carton. If you smoke a carton per week and there are 52 weeks in a year then you will spend around $1300.00 per year.

LOL, in my state for Marlboros it's like $80 a carton or so. Most expensive are Newports in the high 90s per carton. 4000ish a year here. Yikes. If I smoked, I'd likely smoke unfiltered, though, I've tried filtereds and unfiltereds and unfiltered are light years better. Or maybe a pipe. http://www.thefourthpath.com/pipes.shtml I've met this dude before in New Hampshire (really cool guy, actually) and his pipes are really neat.
