Life on a Budget

As if you needed another reason to quit smoking, the government imposed it’s single largest tax increase on cigarettes and tobacco today. The $0.62 increase per pack can definitely have an impact on your budget. I personally don’t smoke, but if you do, now might be a little extra incentive to kick the habit.

How much money can you save?

Well, it depends on how much you smoke but figuring a pack a day…

An extra $0.62 a day X 365 days a year = $226

Add that to what a pack of cigarettes sells for… let’s say on average $6

$6 x 365 days a year = $2190

for a grand total of $2416 a year.

wow.
