Our lovely Emjay posted this erm, lets just say a while ago eh :o :)

I think it just might jog your memory on how much it costs you to smoke, or, would have cost you :) What could you spend all that money on ?

A new dress

A new suit

New shoes

Tools

New handbag

Go for a meal

A holiday

Pay off bills

The list is endless :) :)

Do you actually know how much you spend on your smoking habit? Even better, if you have already stopped smoking, have you noticed all those pennies turning into pounds?

Have a look at the following cost calculator and see which way it works out for you;

Based on 20 cigarettes costing £7.00

10-a-day:

£3.50 a day

£24.50 a week

£106.16 a month

£1,274 a year

20-a-day:

£7.00 a day

£49.00 a week

£212.33 a month

£2,548 a year

30-a-day:

£10.50 a day

£73.50 a week

£318.49 a month

£3,822 a year

40-a-day:

£14.00 a day

£98.00 a week

£424.66 a month

£5,096 a year
