I believe smoking is far worse because those who quit smoking can already see the effects, and it is also dangerous to others because they can inhale it, though both are dangerous, which is why we should try to quit if we can. Also, both are expensive, and they are extra expenses in our budget. If we stop doing these things, we could have extra money for sure, but the problem right now is that it is difficult to stop.
Yes it is better to quit all kinds of addictions because they waste our money. And it doesn't do our body any good but causes damage like cancer and liver rot, all of which can kill a person. And it is true that we have to keep a separate budget for these bad habits which often hinder us from doing the necessary work or saving. Although the price of cigarettes is low, an addicted smoker consumes 10-25 cigarettes a day, which is quite costly something like alcohol.
There are some people who go into such a state of smoking cigarettes that they smoke cigarettes a day without counting. A smoker is so engrossed in smoking that he doesn't even know how many cigarettes he should smoke in a day. But what can I say about others?  I was addicted. I was so addicted that I didn't know why I was smoking cigarettes. I used to smoke when I was in trouble and when I was busy. I used to smoke when I wasn't doing anything.  I used to. But now I quit smoking altogether.
People who smoke always say that smoking reduces tension.  But I think it is a bogus logic.  Because when a person who is addicted to smoking does not smoke for a long time, the addiction of tobacco makes him restless and when he smokes, that addiction is removed and he feels a little better.  So they probably give this logic.  To tell the truth, I smoke only when hanging out with friends, so the addiction has never really hit me. And as these can weaken my financial condition, I always try to avoid bad habits to reduce wastage of money.
Avoiding habits like smoking to avoid the wastage of money is really appreciable. When we smoke we should think of the future as well, because when we smoke wr just calculate what we are spending on the cigarettes. The truth, we should have the calculations for our future medical bills. Even the person who doesn't smoke suffer different disease, but we should not pave path for some medical issues to be caused. In my view avoiding smoking could save big money in one's lifespan.
