Smoking isn’t just a bad habit; it’s a gamble with your health, your finances, your future. In the cold light of day, research and data confirms that smoking can be a deadly trap with no escape.
Don’t live with regret
The statistics paint a harrowing picture. For example:
- Smokers will die prematurely from a disease directly caused by their addiction. On average, smokers sacrifice an astonishing 10 years of their life expectancy to be able to feed their cravings.
- Smoking causes 84% of deaths from lung cancer, although tobacco reaches far beyond the lungs. It is also a proven cause of cancers of the mouth, throat, liver, kidney, bladder, pancreas and stomach.
- Smoking can at least double your risk of having a heart attack, making every puff a potential cardiac catastrophe. The visible effects are just as cruel.
- Smoking prematurely ages the skin by an estimated 15 years on average. It can also damage fertility in both men and women, dramatically increasing the risk of miscarriages and stillbirths.
A crushing financial burden
Beyond all the physical pain and suffering, smoking can impose a knockout blow to your finances and standard of living too.
Research reveals that:
- The average smoker will spend around £6,000 a year on cigarettes – that’s a jaw-dropping £60,000 gone up in smoke in ten years; money that could have been used for a deposit on a house, nursery or childcare fees or a happy retirement.
- In households in low-income groups, smokers are estimated to spend around a third of their entire income on tobacco, locking them into a cycle of financial hardship and ill-health.
Make the right choice
Smoking is a choice that comes with the heaviest of price tags. Smokers are, generally, feeding a deadly habit that harms them, the people they love and the essential public services they and many others depend on.
NOW is your time to take control. Think of every cigarette that YOU DON’T SMOKE as a day you gain, a reduced health risk and extra money in your pocket. Why not choose to break free from the trap.
