Cigarette Quotes

What branch of philosophy does this quote relate to?
The quote is, "The Price of anything is the amount of life you want to spend for it." Its for a project, and im quite confused right now on how i would give a good answer. I want to link it into one of these seven branches, Theology, Aesthetics, Ethics, Epistemology, Metaphysics, Political Philosophy or Logic. Any answer would be greatly appreciated

I am only guessing here, but I would say ethics. The meaning behind the quote is basically how much would you be willing to give up to get something you so desperately wanted at a time when it was in greatest need. An example given was a glass of water when you had no water during a trek across the desert. We can also think closer to home in this day's economy and imagine ourselves unemployed and trying to hold onto our home and car, but with no money coming in, and no more money in the bank. What will we do to make up that sudden loss of money in order to pay the mortgage and car insurance, etc. until we can get back on our feet? Will we do anything so desperately out of character and possibly criminal in nature just to survive? Will we slip to the basest of natures and walk the streets of the red-light district to make our money in that manner?



We could also think of the example of a youngster in school who, yearning for acceptance, submits to peer pressure to gain his fellow students' friendship. The question becomes, how far will he sacrifice his identity and dignity for the pleasure of belonging to this group? Will he start smoking cigarettes because it is now the cool thing to do, even though he always thought it was a nasty thing to do? Will he start skipping classes to hang out with them, smoking pot and drinking beer, so he can be just like his now "best buddies?" How far will he slide down into this road of ruin before he sees what it has done to his life, or will he never take that path to begin with?



That is what I am seeing here in this quote.
