I only smoked about 10 fags a day but started when I was 11 years old, so smoked for nearly 30 years.....was costing about £50 a week
Day 8 with patches. I have committed myself to a brand new car on Saturday (Mokka 1.6) so I cannot afford to go back to smoking now!! But I have a nice new car to pick up on Thursday!! and believe it or not my new car monthly payments are cheaper than smoking...and Im still saving about £76 quid a month after paying for my car.
Happy days

Hi Rach and welcome!!
Well done for getting past the first week - and what a fab way to smend your fag money, had a look at one of those when I had my car MOTed and it looks fab
I hope you love it - and you'll be able to smell that lovely new car smell too :cool:
Doesn't it bring it home to you how expensive fags are?
Have been off the fags for just over 9 months, and saved about £2,300 :eek:
Thanks everyone!! Everytime I think of cigs I just look at the pic of my car. Soon be able to drive it. Should be picking it up Thursday.
I know last time I quit for 5 years, you dont really see the money you save as it gets swallowed up by other things, thats why this time I purchased a new car...so everytime I sit in it and drive it, It will be because I QUIT fags....wahoo
Little bit chesty today...but thats to be expected.
Good luck to all...it can be done
and thanks for the suppport of all ex smokers who understand the addiction
That's the way to do it! When I am sitting in front of my future 60 inch television I have saved nearly £600 so far towards it I will have a look at your new car in the advertisements lol, to think it could have all gone up in smoke! Good Luck Rach
