Excerpts from: Americans who quit smoking save a bundle
Washington Times [12/31/03]
Nine percent of U.S. adults want to quit smoking, the Poughkeepsie, N.Y.-based
Marist Institute said -- and if they do, they'll save a bundle.
For those who put "quit smoking" at the top of their New Year's resolutions, they can save tens of thousands of dollars over a lifetime, to say nothing of improving health and feeling -- and smelling -- better, CNN/Money reported.
For example, a 40-year-old woman who normally smokes a pack of cigarettes a day can save nearly $1,300 in her first smoke-free year, according to Quitnet.com, an online support group that helps people stop smoking. The group estimates it has helped 26,839 people quit the smoking habit and saved them $354,595,252.
