Anyone who used to smoke a pack a day and stops now can save a lot of money in the years to come.
It's several thousand euros.
A cigarette costs an average of 32 cents.
That doesn't sound like much at first, but very few smokers are satisfied with just one.
Heavy smokers puff away more cigarettes a day.
So if you smoke a pack of 20 cigarettes a day, you have to shell out between 7.30 and 7.60 euros, depending on the brand.
Over days, weeks, and months, that adds up significantly.
