I was thinking today about how pacifiers can help people to stop smoking. Most people go through a pack or two a day. This can equate to about $5.00 per day or $35.00 per week. A pacifier can save the smoker $1820.00 per year. A cigerette only lasts for about 10 min at tops. a pacifier on the other hand costs about $6.00 for a 2 pack. this One can last for a good long time. I have had one that I have sucked on for about a week and it is as good as the day I got it. I have 2 NUK 5s ordered and they should be here next week. I wear them in my apartment and in my car. To me they are even safer than cigaretts as they do not cause cancer and they do not cause fire. I can see the same sucking as a cigarette. I personally do not smoke (gave up the habit after a fire in my old apartment) but the pacifier fills the bill where I would be smoking. I think pacifiers are cute.
