When a student is addicted to smoking, he spends about one to one and a half dollars a day on buying cigarettes. A cost per month is $30 to $45, which if converted annually is $360 to $540. A student spends about $2,500-$3,700 on smoking over seven years.

Someone who smokes only one pack of cigarettes a day in most EU countries will spend at least EUR 5 a day, which means about EUR 150 a month or EUR 1800 a year. This is certainly a large amount of money in some countries, but it is not small even in the EU, where in some countries you have to work for at least 3 months for that amount. All this while noting that I took into account the cheapest pack of cigarettes - so some spend much more with the addition of daily coffee and alcohol consumption in cafes.
In reality, people
"throw" large amounts of money literally into the wind, but in doing so they poison themselves and others - although some in this topic think that cigarettes are not harmful to health. I don't interfere in anyone's life and say what is necessary and what is not, but I can say with certainty that people would have much better quality lives if they let go of their vices.
