Saving Money

Saving Money is Good for Your Health

Take National Non-Smoking Week seriously and save $1,200 in 2012

Wednesday, January 18, 2012

Toronto ON – National Non-Smoking Week runs from Sunday, January 15 to Saturday, January 21, and is designed to educate Canadians on the dangers of smoking. What if we also create awareness about how much money a smoker could save if they quit smoking today? With the cost of cigarettes averaging $12 per package, at two packs per week that's an annual savings of more than $1,200!

"Saving money by quitting smoking requires changing our lifestyle and creating new habits," says Jeffrey Schwartz, executive director, Consolidated Credit Counseling Services of Canada, Inc. "We know these are tough decisions but in order to be healthier both physically and financially, it's imperative we make the right choices so we can all live our best life."

Once you've made the decision to quit smoking, take the money normally used to buy cigarettes and use it to reduce your debt or put into savings. Make it seamless by letting the bank do all the work for you; have it automatically deducted from your account. Find out what triggers you to smoke and eliminate it from your routine. This will help you manage the transition to non-smoker.

Seek the assistance of medical professionals trained in providing smoking cessation counselling to get you through this time. In addition, trained credit counsellors can work with you to create a budget and help develop good money management techniques. You win two ways!
