Money
Smoking costs a lot. In the long term, health problems from smoking can cost you money in missed work, doctors’ visits, and long-term care. In the short term, those packs of cigarettes add up!
A pack-a-day smoker who pays $8 for a pack of cigarettes spends $224 a month, enough for a car payment. That’s about $3,000 a year! How much does it cost you to smoke?
