Health cost
The single greatest cause of preventable illnesses and early death is caused by tobacco consumption or better known as smoking. Cancer Research UK estimates that 114,000 people die each year from smoking related diseases including cancer. Smokers find it extremely difficult to give up smoking due to the highly addictive nature of nicotine in cigarettes.
What a waste of money
The cost of a single person smoking twenty cigarettes a day is 2,135 Franks per year and this takes no account of the income tax and the national insurance you paid the government from your wages. If these taxes were included then a twenty a day single persons smoking habit would cost you 2,669 Franks per year. That’s the cost of a family holiday abroad including spending money. A couple who some twenty cigarettes a day would spend 5,338 Franks per year including tax deductions from their wages. That’s 102.66 Franks per week for a couple and 51.33 Franks for a single smoker. What a waste of money!
