Smoking is a habit which ends up becoming quite expensive especially when a 20 pack of cigarettes can set you back over £10.

If you sat down and looked at how much money you were spending on cigarettes, you might be shocked.

Stop smoking in January and by Christmas next year you could save £3,300. This could be spent on Christmas presents for loved ones or you could even treat yourself to a Chanel Boy which is a designer handbag!

If you were to stop smoking in February, you could save £3,000 by Christmas. This is the equivalent of buying a 2005 – 2010 Suzuki Swift.

Stopping smoking in March could lead you to save £2,700 which is the equivalent of a months household budget.

If you were to stop smoking in April, by Christmas you could save £2,400. Saving this much money could result in a trip to Las Vegas for 2 for a week.

Wanting to save just over £2,000? Stop smoking in May and you could save £2,100 by Christmas. This would pay for a week at Legoland Castle Hotel in a Wizards room for a family of 4!

Thinking of getting a new apple iMac but money is tight? Stop smoking in June and you could save £1,800 by Christmas.

To save £300 by Christmas, stop smoking in November! This could lead to a night away at The Devonshire Arms Hotel and Spa.

These are just examples of what you could spend the money on, if you saved £100 you could treat your family of 4 to an afternoon of bowling at Hollywood Bowl and even treat them to a meal out afterwards or treat your family of 4 to a day out at Yorkshire Wildlife Park and even treat the children to a toy or two!

If you saved £600 you could treat your family to 4 nights in August at Blue Dolphin Haven Holiday Park in a standard caravan, or if you saved £1,500 you could upgrade to a Platinum caravan with wrap around deck.
