Have you saved the money?

I’m wondering if people saved the money that they would have spent on cigarettes? I haven’t but I’m thinking of starting 😂

I’m 1 year 8 months and 10 days smoke free 😊

I know people that put their cash in a jar so the site of it was their motivation. I didn't do that but I saw the savings. Every once in awhile I will go spend my "cigarette money" on something fun and special but that's all I have done. And I love it!

Hey Louiseb17 - I didn't actually put money in a jar but have had many treats in my 3 years stopped, 4 star holiday 3 years ago, money for a rainy day, can save a few quid comfortably since I stopped. Done things around the house. Thankfully, I no longer smoke as they have gone up to €13.00 for a box of 20 in the Budget here in Ireland during the week - if I was would be spending €182.00 a week :O :O

Glad I quit $15.00for 25 in Canada. My savings is spent on trips to Cuba hopefully my husband gets fixed up after having open heart surgery so we can continue to go.
