how much do you you spend in 10 years on smoking.
http://www.nhsdirect.nhs.uk/interactiveTools/smoking.aspx (http://www.nhsdirect.nhs.uk/interactiveTools/smoking.aspx)
mine is ?4.85 & 30 a day:
Here are your savings:In one week: ?50.93
what this means
How about cooking (or getting someone else to cook!) an amazing meal for you and a friend with the money you?ve already saved. You will now be able to really taste your food, appreciate the cooking smells and be grateful for the aroma of that special bottle of wine.
In one month: ?221.28
what this means
Consider treating yourself to a pamper day at your local health club (they do great ones for men as well as women!) You?ve saved enough now. Your skin is beginning to look clearer, brighter and younger (smoking prevents the blood from carrying enough oxygen to the skin, making it dry). You skin deserves pampering too.
In six months: ?1,327.69
what this means
Think of all the new clothes, you can now afford. Maybe you can also re?decorate your home or treat yourself to some new furniture. Your new clothes don?t stink of smoke. Your home will stay bright and airy.
In one year: ?2,655.38
what this means
You have not smoked now for a whole year ? so with all the money you?ve saved you can now afford an amazing holiday for two, away in the sun/snow/mountains/desert... You have probably noticed that you can breathe better and that you have had less coughs and colds than you used to. How about trying diving, horse riding, walking or mountaineering on your holiday?
In two years: ?5,310.75
what this means
You have saved enough for another wonderful holiday, new clothes or a trip in a hot air balloon... You deserve it. You are not harming others with your smoke. Your children are far less likely to have severe asthma as they are now breathing clean air.
In five years: ?13,276.87
what this means
You have probably saved a lot of money by now. Maybe your car needs replacing ? you can afford a new one now. Remember the risk of heart attack has now fallen to about half that of a smoker.
In ten years: ?26,553.75
what this means
If you?ve been saving all cash you would have spent on cigarettes, you are now healthy and wealthy. Your risk of lung cancer has fallen to about half that of a smoker and your risk of heart attack is the same as if you had never smoked.
