One of the all round benefits of stopping smoking is definitely a healthier bank balance. However most of us don't realise that the savings from quitting don't stop at the cost of a packet of cigarettes.
For instance, did you know that smokers pay higher life insurance premiums, may have more prescription charges (due to smoking related illnesses) and may even need to make more trips to the dentist.
What ever you decide to do, remember the most important benefit of giving up smoking is for you. You will not only live a richer life as a non smoker, but also be healthier and live longer too!
So how much does smoking really cost?
Think how many cigarettes you smoke in a day, multiply that by how many you smoked in a year, and you will be surprised at how quickly the cost of smoking adds up. Below is an approximate amount of money spent over a period of time.
