What's Smoking Costing You? $10,000 Annual Pay Rise For Pack a Day Smokers!

In the 2017/18 financial year, I saw over 400 Smokers.

I asked each client how many cigarettes that they smoke. Now, that number ranged from 5 per day to 60 per day.

Out of all the people I saw in this period the average smoker smoked 25 per day, so lets call it a packet a day.

At the time of writing this (July, 2018) the average packet of cigarettes cost $27, so that's $189 per week! (some people pay less, some people pay more)

So based on these figures the average smoker spends approximately $9,828 per year, every year....and rising.

In May 2016 the federal government announced that it will increase the tobacco excise by 12.5 per cent a year for the next four years.

The plan will cause the price of a packet of 25 cigarettes to rise to about $40 by 2020, which will then cost the average smoker $480 per week, which equates to a hefty $14,560 per year!!!!

The current cost of The Gold Stop Smoking Clinic Stop Smoking Session (as at July 2018) is $330. Read More Here

So the average smoker I see at our Stop Smoking Clinics is spending $27 per day on smoking ... breaks even of our $330 session cost after just 11 days, then the rest is pure profit!

It's like an annual pay rise (After tax) of close to $10,000 per year, every year when a pack a day smoker gives up.
