Up in smoke. Literally.

Are you a smoker? Have you ever considered quitting the habit? As addictive as smoking can be for some, quitting is much easier said than done. The nicotine along with other chemicals and additives forces a smoker to face severe withdrawal symptoms if the addiction is not fed periodically throughout the day. A tight-knit support program is very important for those willing to take the plunge and finally put down the cigarettes. If you have considered quitting then I applaud your effort and wish you well on your journey. I know from personal experience how hard it is, yet I also know how great it feels when you can finally call yourself a non-smoker and mean it. Need a little more motivation? Great. Simple math, if you smoke one pack per day and that pack costs you $4.00, you will save $1,460.00 in the next year. Of course your savings may go up or down depending on frequency and the cost of your preferred brand. What would you do with almost $1500 smackaroos? As a frugal advocate, I find the best possible things to spend money on is good ol' fashion experience. Take a vacation. Go to an amusement or water park. Host the family reunion that your relatives will be talking about for 20 years. Get creative, kick the habit, and start living your life healthier and with more coin in your pocket.
