The Cost of Smoking!

Members,
 
Many people think that quitting smoking is expensive, so decide to continue on smoking. Quitting does cost money but no more than smoking and it is only temporary while smoking is not! The average treatment costs is $3 to $10 a day and if you have health insurance smoking cession treatments may be covered.  

Get this: If you smoke a pack a day at $7.00 per pack, that’s $49.00 a week, $200.00 a month and $2,555.00 a year spent on cigarettes!  If you quit and invested this money every year for 20 years with a 7% return rate, you would have $104,743.00!! Now that’s a lot of money! Take a look around at the some of our members quit members to see how much money they’ve saved.  How would you rather spend your money?
