Smoking Is Too Expensive

When I asked my kidney transplant patient if she smoked.
"Yes. But I've got to quit. It's becoming too expensive"
People respond to money. They always will.  I know this because I had a schizophrenic patient tell me he had to quit smoking (and did) because it was getting too expensive. And schizophrenic patients NEVER quit smoking. Money is a powerful motivator in this world we live in.
