1. The True Cost Of Smoking
Smoking is not a cheap venture in any way, shape or form. But it seems that the price tag on a pack of cigarettes hardly deters many from partaking in the activity, even in the face of harsh economic times. Although the price tag of a single pack of cigarettes may not be intimidating enough for those experiencing the relaxing effects of smoking, maybe a look at the overall cost of the habit would make somewhat of an impact.
Today a pack of cigarettes costs about $6/pack. The price varies based on location and taxes, but let’s use $6/pack for calculations. At $6/pack, if someone smokes 1 pack a day every day, the annual expenditure on cigarettes is $2190/year. But unfortunately the costs don’t stop there.
