We all know that smoking is bad for your health, but it’s also expensive.
The best thing for any smoker to do for both their health (and their wallet), is to quit completely, but for smokers who don’t quit, switching to a smoke-free alternative can be a better choice.
We’ve developed a handy calculator which shows how much money adult smokers could save by either quitting or switching to a smoke-free alternative.
If you’re a smoker, take a look below and see how much you could save if you quit or switched today…

Average daily consumption data has been collected from a range of sources. Please note, the saving claim is indicative only and assumes that you exclusively swich to the reduce risk product referenced.
