Get Paid to Quit Smoking

Did you know that a pack a day smoker spends nearly $50 a week on cigarettes? That’s over $2200 a year on cigarettes alone. Depending on how much or what other forms of tobacco you use, this dollar figure could actually be higher. $2200 could buy you a plane ticket home from overseas. It could help you with the down payment on the new car you’ve been thinking about. You could pay off some bills or even buy tickets for a cruise. What would you do with the extra money you’d save from quitting tobacco? Use the questions below to write down how much money you are spending on tobacco. This will give you a quick glance at how much of your budget may be going towards tobacco use.
