Smoking Statistics by Cost 

Cigarette smoking is also one of the most costly habits a person can have, and there are many online calculators to show you just how much you spend per day, per week, and per year on smoking.

For example: notice the following numbers, assuming that cigarettes are $3.50 per pack (U.S. dollars):

• If you smoke half a pack (6 cigarettes) per day, you will spend $7.35 per week, $31.50 per month, and $383.25 per year on cigarettes.
• If you smoke a full pack (12 cigarettes) per day, you will spend $14.70 per week, $62.10 per month, and $766.50 per year.
• If you smoke two packs (24 cigarettes) per day, you will spend $29.40 per week, $125.10 per month, and $1,532.10 per year.

This cost is just for the cigarettes by themselves. It does not include the added health and medical costs that ones have when they smoke. More frequent trips to the doctor’s office for chronic lung and other respiratory ailments, cough, skin rashes due to dehydrations, asthma treatment, and many other factors mean that there is much more out of pocket spending for cigarette smoking than just the cost for a pack of smokes.

And what’s worse – imagine adding this up if there are two smokers in the house! If you and your spouse both smoke a pack of cigarettes a day, that’s over one thousand, five hundred dollars that the family’s budget is being spend on cigarettes. One thousand, five hundred dollars! Three thousand dollars every other year is being sent up in smoke in your family.
