The average smoker spends between $2,000.00 to $5,000.00 per year on cigarettes so it's not a small amount that a person can save when quitting smoking.

That smoking is not only bad for your wallet but also bad for your health as well and you could have a lot of money in savings if you just put the money you would spend on cigarettes into a savings account you could be a millionaire by the time you retire.

For a company to mass produce packs of cigarettes it costs the company only roughly 20 to 40 cents per pack of cigarettes to produce.

The companies are making millions of dollars in profit from smokers who pay a high price for the cigarettes.

Here the cheapest pack of cigarettes is $7.00 per pack and $2.00 of that is sales tax and the rest is the cost of the cigarettes where some goes to the store and some goes to the cigarette company.

I see people who smoke 2 packs of cigarettes per day which means they are spending $14.00 per day smoking cigarettes.

At $14.00 per day for cigarettes they are spending $420.00 per month on cigarettes which equates to $5,040.00 per year.

That's a lot of money and in 5 years I could have a brand new truck out of that money or buy a lot of groceries.
