Need another reason not to use tobacco? Here’s the bottom line:

$5.00 (Average price per pack with taxes) X 7 days= $35 a week

$35 a week X 52 weeks in the year= $1,820 a year

 

(This doesn’t account for lighters, gum, scents, etc. that many smokers keep on hand to support their habit.)

​

$3 (average price per can with taxes) X 365 days in the year= $1,095

​

(This doesn’t account for gum, mints, mouthwash, etc. that a user of spit tobacco keeps on hand to support their habit.)

​

Think about the money spent on tobacco for the year, then think about what you would do with this amount of money as a reward for yourself (even if you’re not a user).
