$365 pa for 1 cigarette per day...

Do the sums.
1 cigarette per day for a year = $365.
10 per day = $3650 pa.
15 per day = $5475 pa
20 per day = $7300 pa.
25 per day = $9125 pa
30 per day = $10950 pa
Now that is an expensive load of ash, be it on a daily basis of 1 to 30....
I can not afford to burn $365 let alone significantly increasing amounts up to $10 950. (That is an investment mortgage...) And if we live to retirement age that will go a long way by adding to the superannuation as we can expect a longer life span... and a healthier one...

What a great way to look at it. To think we spent so much money on coughing and smelling and being outcasts. This makes it so much easier to reconcile myself to the sadness I still feel. Thank you.
