Giving Up Smoking

There are four  main reasons why people want to stop smoking:

1. To save money
2. To improve your health
3. To improve your lifestyle
4. To protect your family

I want you and me to focus on No 1 on saving money. I have brought myself a “Stop Smoking – Start Saving” tin which is the same size as a Heinz baked bean tin (400g). It has a little coin slot at the top of the tin. The beauty of this tin is that you can’t open it unless you have a can opener so whatever you put in the tin is hidden so you don’t even know how much your putting into it.

My challenge is I’m putting about 25% – 50% of what I would of spent in cigarettes and will not be opening this tin until 1st Sepetmebr and I will then be able to see exactly how much I have saved by not smoking.

I encourage you to do the same. The tin only costs £1.50(excluding postage)  (that’s cheaper than 10 cigs) and can be ordered by clicking here.

Once you have your tin set up, just keep putting a portion of what you would spend on smoking into the tin and then set yoruself a date say in a month or twos time when you open the tin to see how much you have saved. The result may surprise you.

I’m not just sticking pound coins in the tin. To my knowledge I have already put a £10 and £5 note in my tin, along with some loose change. I recon I have put about £18.00 in there, but that is a guess as I’m not keeping track of what goes in the tin and I just want the surprise on 1st September.

Now it’s your turn – challenge yourself to save by not smoking with the “Start Saving Tin” which can be purchased by clicking here.
