article is from 2008 thought it was interesting on how much you could save ....now I see cigs are almost 7$ a pack in NYC!!!!!



Personal financial impact

The cost of a pack of cigarettes averages around $4.50 to $5, including taxes, depending on where you live. Using the lower number, a pack-a-day smoker burns through about $31.50 per week, or $1,638 per year. That's a fat house payment or a nice vacation with the family. A 40-year-old who quits smoking and puts the savings into a 401(k) earning 9% a year would have nearly $250,000 by age 70.But only you know exactly how much you pay and how often. Plug your yearly tally into our Savings Calculator and see what it'll cost you over the coming decades.
The one place many smokers feel free and comfortable to light up is in their car. Without consistent and thorough cleanings, however, a car that is smoked in will soon start to resemble an ashtray on wheels. The interior inevitably smells like smoke, and stray ashes and butts can burn holes in the upholstery and floor mats.
None of these things has much financial impact until you try to sell the car. Figure a minimum of $150 for a good cleaning with an extractor.

That's so annoying when people say "do you know how much you could save....."

Think of how much money porkers could save every day if they put down the fork, bags of chips, and ice cream. There are many more fatties out there then smokers. Also, look at all the money gamblers lose every year. I'm sure most lose much more then tobacco users spend.

For all you alcoholics, you spend more at a bar in one night then a cigarette smoker does in a week. Then you need to add up your daily 6-pk/12 pk costs. Or for you major alcoholics, you can go through a fifth of your favorite liquor every day.

Smoking is bad, it's horrible, it's addicting. But if a person chooses to smoke then stop the nagging and let them be. You don't see people going up to fatties and telling them, "You're a fatfuck man, you need to lose some weight you ugly motherfucker."


Cigarettes cost an average of over $10 in Europe due to their socialist health care systems. They rape the poor smoker so they can give free medical care to all the Muslim baby making immigrants. They also charge a buttload for gasoline to go towards their heathcare.
