save money and health together!

"...a smoker who goes through 20 cigarettes per day could spend more than £2,000 per year..." Came across this piece of news here. I knew that cigarettes do cost quite alot, and i know prices are rising. But i never knew it cost THAT much. only an accumulative calculation could reveal how much money is thrown into destroying health. That's the irony, when people in this age are actually spending their entire fortune to improve their health, and to live longer.

"..Yorkshire Bank recently echoed these arguments, stating that the 1.1 million Britons who quit smoking 12 months ago have since saved a collective total of £1 billion.". That's a whole lot of money! Yes, that is a total by 1.1 million people. But that's only in 1 year! Manz.. if only all smokers would be more money-minded, then they'll all quit smoking to save money! haha..

and it said.. ""Spending over £2,000 a year on cigarettes means that smokers have less money than non-smokers, making them less likely to pay off their credit cards or Mortgage as quickly as somebody who doesn’t smoke,". So maybe that makes me, a non-smoker, a richer person? haha
