Quit smoking, save money! It is literally that simple! When you look deep into your life, you’ll probably find lots of ways to save money. As a smoker, you have a small gold mine, literally at your fingertips. Cigarettes are costing you a small fortune! If you quit, the amount of money you save will probably shock and amaze you, and may even make you mad and depressed too! Best of all, it should excite and inspire you to quit smoking.
Have you ever considered the amount of money you spend on your smoking habit? It is an expensive habit, indeed!
Let us assume you spend £5 per 20 stick pack of cigarettes. I realise this may be a low price for people, and may be high for others, but on average let us just work with the low number of £5 per 20 stick pack. Now, let also assume you only smoke 10 cigarettes a day, which again, is an extremely low number. Within a seven day week, you will have spent £17.50 (an extremely low budget for cigarettes). In a month, you will spend £70, and a year, £840. This is quite a significant number, right?
Just think about it for a moment…going by these numbers, you could be saving yourself £840 per year if you were to quit smoking. Committing to quitting smoking leaves you with the other challenge of having to change your habit to coincide with your new smoke-free lifestyle.
Your smoking routine is an element that makes quitting smoking so difficult. By smoking you have created strong associations in your daily life that have been surrounded by smoking. For instance, you might have become accustomed to smoking at work during breaks, with coffee in the morning, or while having a drink when socializing with friends. It can be difficult to quit the routine, but it is certainly not impossible.
