Smoking Facts – Dollars And Sense

How Would You Like $2,500 In Your Pocket Right Now?

I know what you’re thinking; “What’s the catch?” What do you need to sell, what do you need to invest up front, what vital organ is this person after?

Yes–there is a small catch, but no–it doesn’t involve selling, investing, and it actually means saving your vital organs, not giving them up. For $2,500, are you willing to read further?

Here is one fact about smoking. Today, the average price of cigarettes is about $3.50 per pack in the U.S. There’s typically 20 cigarettes per pack.

Now, how much do you smoke every day? If you’re a “light” smoker, meaning half a pack per day, you’ll spend over $630 per year for cigarettes. For many people, that’s two car payments, or a month’s worth of groceries for the family!

If you’re a moderate smoker at a pack a day, that’s $1260 per year. Now we’re talking an entire month’s apartment rent, or 2 or 3 months’ worth of gas in the car, or the price of a very nice flat-screen television.

And for two-packs-per-day smokers, the price per year is over $2,500. Think about that amount for a moment – two thousand, five hundred dollars! Repeat it in your head over and over, and imagine what you could do right now– today–with two thousand, five hundred dollars.

Of course, it’s somewhat tough to think of that amount adding up over the course of a year since that’s a long time to wait for money, so think of it in monthly terms. For a half a pack a day, that’s over $50 per month; for a pack a day, that’s over $100 per month, and for two packs a day, that’s $210 per month.

What would you do with that extra money? Pay off credit card bills, put gas in your car, or go out to dinner more often? $50 per week may be close to a tank of gas for many, so even light smokers are hurting themselves financially by tossing their money away – should we say, putting it up in smoke.

The money, of course, is just one option to the benefits of quitting smoking. That money adds up month after month, year after year, and could be better used for so many other things.

So in reality, someone really is offering you $2,500; as a matter of fact, you already have it, you just need to keep it rather than throw it away on cigarettes!
