Giving Up Smoking

Tobacco companies and government are the only ones that benefit from the sale of tobacco. Both receive trillions of wealth in a way of taxes and net profits. Smokers are unaware of the amount they spend on lighting every cigarette.

Not only does smoking have financial implications, as it also consumes time. This results in sick leaves at workplace and companies incur losses due to loss of productivity. These are just some of the smoking effects.

Next, apart from general smoking effects, the financial burden it brings in is hard to ignore:

By lighting 20 cigarettes each day, individuals end up smoking 7,300 cigarettes yearly. Even by choosing low cost brands, they are still investing more than £1,825 (based on £5 per packet) yearly. Therefore, there is not only a risk for various illnesses, but also spending all that hard earned cash on tobacco.

In fact, smokers can invest or spend this money in something fruitful, productive, or valuable. It can be anything such as a vacation, a wardrobe, or modern gadgets. People, who have just taken up smoking, can save up to £35 every week by quitting the habit.
