Giving Up Smoking
 | We all know that smoking costs an ever rising fortune, but do you know just how much you could save? Being a moderate smoker and smoking 10 cigarettes each day will cost you £72 each month. This amounts to a whopping £876 each year. This demonstrates that a 20 a day smoker could save enough to have a luxury holiday to Barbados. Would you turn this down to have another cigarette? We would like the smokers of North Hertfordshire to grab a large see-through jar, put your cigarette change into it instead of purchasing more cigarettes and see for yourself the money you are throwing away. Let us know how you get on! |
