The second reason is: smoking is very expensive. Each pack of cigarettes costs from eight to nine dollars. On average, if people smoke a pack per day, they spend $250 per month. If they quit smoking cigarettes, people can use the money to buy extra food for the table, to buy toys for their kids, to buy a piece of furniture or to save the money for a family trip. People need to spend money to live better with their families than spend it on cigarettes.
