Have a smoke with that coffee? That will be $296,000 over your lifetime please.

Leo, Your always bashing the smoker...I smoke because I have the choice and when I stop smoking it will be my choice...the last time I drank a DR.Peper I do not remember it being free!!

Yeah! What he said! So there.

No bashing, just reporting, as although I knew it was a lot I never imagined it could be that expensive. And sometimes some people want certain people to stop because they care about their friendship and well being.

From the article:

Costs over lifetime: $86,000 (for a 24-year old woman over a lifetime); $183,000 (for a 24-year old man over a lifetime)

of course not including the insurance costs....


IMO it probably is twice that Leo....$500,000 would be more like it....if one totals in ALL the subsiduary costs of smoking...

I bet if you knew the medical costs of the 8-10 yrs smoking takes away, you'd find the cigs are cheaper- - just sayin...
Sure glad it takes the last years, and not the ones when I was having a good time, lol

It costs a heck of a lot whatever the number is. I don't care what people do as long as it doesn't affect my air. When it involves my air I object to smoking. I also don't care what most people do but there are some people I care about as better than good friends for life so I wish those people didn't smoke.

Oh, and my bad, worse than most probably, Dr. Pepper habit costs me about $50 a month, $600 a year, maybe $30k lifetime.

Since I started down the path to a dirt nap, due to Emphysema, Medicare, BC/BS & me, have probably already spent/cost a hundred grand. Thanks, Marlboro.

And if you were to invest that money you could retire a millionaire.

I wonder if'n a fella would give up that dollah cup of coffee, an jes smoke that two bit smoke, how much could he save?? I'll have to do the math someday {when} I have time.

 

[redytrk]

Since I have never smoked, I`m wondering where all that money IS AT.

This country sure has changed. In the New America it is deemed by many to be acceptable and politically correct to suck on anything but a cigarette. I sure miss the old America.
