Learning how to quit smoking is a pretty tough task unless you look at it from the right perspective. Sure, it would be great if people thought about the health benefits of not smoking (and some do) but for the most part, people don’t do that. However, when you break down how much money you can save by not smoking, things tend to change. That’s what we’re about to do for you. We’re going to break down just how much money you can save by not smoking. It’s a pretty simple formula so rather than just telling you what the average person would save, we’ll translate that into what those savings could do for you.

So, how much money can you save by not smoking?

Going by current prices (which aren’t showcased in the image above), you could save roughly $1600 a year by not smoking. That’s a pretty big chunk of change, don’t you agree? That breaks down to about $133 a month. Doesn’t sound like much, does it? Well…

Think again!

That’s probably enough money to pay the average person’s cable/internet/TV bill. That’s probably enough to pay for your car insurance. It’s probably even enough to pay for nearly half of your typical person’s grocery bill for an entire month. It would probably even pay for the gas in the car that is sitting in your driveway right now for a whopping 30 days!

But that’s not all…

If you kept the money that you saved by quitting smoking until the end of the year, it’s like getting an extra income tax back. Every single year that you didn’t smoke a single pack of cigarettes, you could go out and buy one of the best TVs on the market, the newest video game console (with 20+ games), or even a used crotch rocket for your hubby to enjoy.

But what if you’re a guy?

Well, it doesn’t matter what gender you are. Quitting smoking is financially beneficial to anyone and everyone (even you six figure earners out there). You’re cutting costs on insurance, medical expenses, and putting money in your pocket. Who in the world would turn down an extra $65 or so on each of their paychecks? Well, by not quitting smoking, that’s essentially what you are doing. But the thing is, these are just average numbers.

Some of you aren’t average!

And no, that’s not an insult. Some of you pay even more for cigarettes than $4.25 a pack (which is the figure we used to come up with all of this). Some people are paying $9 and $10 for a single pack of cigarettes. That means that they could literally save more than double what you are saving. Think of what those numbers could do for them. Then….

Ask yourself one question.

Is it worth it to continue smoking? Not only for your health but for your wallet or purse. Don’t think too hard though because we have the answer for you right now. No! It’s not worth it at all and we hope that you’ll consider quitting smoking and doing something else with your money (and the money you save). You know, stuff like finding good deals!
