Can You Afford To Set Your Money On Fire?
Money
The price of a pack of cigarettes never goes down - so money could be another excellent reason to quit smoking.With the average cost of up to around $1200 a year (depending on where you're located) for a single pack a day habit, you are looking at a lot of money going up in smoke each day.
Keeping the money in your pocket can do a lot for your budget. It could even mean the difference between being able to buy that holiday you and the family have wanted or it could simply mean that your budget will stretch a lot further.
Drop the money into a savings account for a little more financial benefit later on. Regardless of your choice you'll be happy to hang on to the money and this in itself can be motivating.
Other great benefits of quitting smoking
Other benefits can include being able to keep your house, car and clothes smelling a great deal better.
Everyone knows that stale tobacco and smoke has a bad smell, and everyone that doesn't smoke - really picks up on this smell.
As your urge to smoke decreases, your desire to smell good will increase. This can lead to a complete top to bottom cleaning that will put you in a great mood. Just imagine quitting the smoking habit during spring you could just consider it your spring cleaning spurt. Seriously though, you will definitely love the increased sense of smell, and now all your wonderful flowers in the garden will now have a reason to exist beyond just looking pretty.
