Rediscover Singapore - New Year Resolution

The only resolution which I had made was back in 1/1/1981 was to quit smoking which took effect on that day and today I am free of cigarettes as at 3/1/2021 that was 40 years ago and mark my youngest son 40th Birthday. I was once a heavy smoker during my teenage years, I could consume 4 packets of 20 sticks a day during mahjong session after work till early morning today the cost of a packet of smoke will cost from $10 - $12 a packet compared to 70 cents for a packet of 20s' in the 60s. Ask me how much do I save over the years I say nothing simply you save on smoke but you spend on others. So what your resolution.
