Stop smoking

People who smoke are sick of those of us who don’t trying to tell them what to do, but how important is smoking to a smoker. It not only takes away from your bank account, but also your health. The worst part is the health issues show up later in life when a person’s income is mostly fixed. So let’s look at a pack a day. Here in Ohio a friend of mine told me a package of cigarettes cost $4.50 so at a pack a day a smoker is spending $136.87 a month or $1,642.50 a year. Double that if you and your significant other are smokers or if you smoke 2 packs a day. A cost of $3,285 out the window every year, but for this exercise let’s keep it at $1,642.50.
