Cost of smoking

Have you added up the amount of money you spend on cigarettes?

See how much smoking is costing you 

 

Try not to dwell on the money you’ve spent on smoking already – think about the money you’ll save from the day you quit. How could you use this money to help increase your quality of life?

For instance, if you smoke a pack of cigarettes for an average of $18 a day, you're spending more than $6500 a year. Once you think about all the things you can do with the money you’ll save when you stop smoking, you may find the extra incentive you need to give up smoking for good.

Start planning for a healthier and wealthier future!
