Saving money
Quitting smoking can seriously boost your bank balance, giving you more money to spend on the things that matter.
How much is smoking costing you?
If you need added incentive to quit smoking, think about how much of your income is going up in smoke every week. The average 10-a-day smoker spends around £40 a week on tobacco. That’s over £2,000 a year!

When you quit smoking, you won’t just save money on tobacco, you’ll also save money on:
- lighters and lighter fluid
- gum and body spray to try and hide the smell
- replacing clothes that smell of smoke
- redecorating or replacing smoke damaged furniture
- less trips to the dentist due to a reduced risk of gum disease caused by smoking
Smoking is only going to get more expensive
With the increasing cost of tobacco, smoking is only going to cost you more. Did you know e-cigarettes are cheaper and significantly less harmful than cigarettes, and can help you manage cravings as you move towards quitting?
