Financial Issues and Smoking

Smoking costs a lot of money in general so why do keep buying cigarettes? The truth is tobacco is very addicting the the tobacco industries know that which is why they continue to raise the tax of them because they know if people are addicted enough, they will keep buying them. If a person was to buy a pack of cigarettes every day just for ten years, the money spent would eventually be enough that you could have purchased a car with it. One pack of cigarettes with about 21 in a pack costs around 10 bucks. If you keep adding that up it not only would you have spent around 51.,000 dollars a year, but you'd probably have to spend more just on the medical costs of getting sick from the smoke.With the prices these days, it's just gonna keep getting worse so people minaswell stop smoking now.
