We all know that smoking causes health problems, but have you thought about how it affects your wallet?
In 2009, the federal tobacco tax increase added 62 cents to the price of each pack of cigarettes – bringing the total tax to $1.01 per pack. This tax and the current economy might be just the motivation you need to join the American Cancer Society Great American Smokeout® Thursday, November 19, and finally quit for good.
Beyond the savings on cigarettes, quitting smoking could also save you the cost of breath mints, cough drops, and cleaning expenses for your clothes, home, and car. And on top of those savings, you and your family will benefit even more over time. You can avoid many costs from doctor visits and medicines for the diseases and other health issues caused by smoking or by exposure to secondhand smoke.
Quit like a champion™. To learn more, visit cancer.org/smokeout or call the American Cancer Society at 1-800-227-2345.
