Naomi's Quitting Corner

Naomi and I are giving up smoking as of 00:01am, Sunday 1st February 2009. Up till then we were each smoking about 60 cigarettes a day. I once worked out that in the first 7 years we were together we spent approximately £49,000 on cigarettes (and that was at 1990's prices!! LOL) which is some serious money. At today's prices we would be spending about £12,000 each year if not for the fact that we currently buy our cigarettes cheaply abroad in the EU. Even so we've probably spent over £100,000 on smoking in the 17 years we've been together.

What this currently means is that we've given up for:

  • 82 Weeks,
  • 6 Days,
  • 8 Hours,
  • 16 Minutes,
  • 32 Seconds!
  • During that period we've each not smoked 1741 packets of cigarettes that we would otherwise have smoked.
  • At UK prices that means we've each saved about £9575.5!!
  • Naomi's now saved about £5803.45 towards extra holidays!!
