I have quick question for your imagination. Imagine the cost of a package of cigarettes. Now imagine how much you spend each week, each month, each year. Then imagine how much you have to earn to pay for those cigarettes. Next imagine the next year of smoking, next 2 years of smoking, the next 5 years, the next 10 years, the next 20 years of smoking.  How much money do you have to earn to keep up with the cost of smoking.  Remember cigarettes get more and more expensive each year.  Now lets try something else. I want you to imagine all the things you could do with the money you would have spent on cigarettes each week, each month, each year, each 5 years, each 10 years and finally 20 years. See how profitable it is to be a non-smoker.
