Saving Money

"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!
