00:01Attention smokers, it's time to give up that nicotine vice.
00:04Not only can you save your lungs from the tobacco toxins, but also save your wallet from damage, too.
00:09Here's how much you could gain by kicking the habit.

00:17According to Smokefree.gov, the average pack of cigarettes costs $6.28 in the U.S.
00:22If you smoked just five cigarettes a day and called it quits, that would save you almost $50 a month.
00:29Skip the cigs and spend that on a gym membership instead.
00:32For heavier smokers who go through at least a pack a day, there's even more incentive to give it up.
00:37You can save over $40 a week, $188 a month, and over $2,000 a year by saying enough to the puff.
00:45Take that $2,000 and give yourself and your lungs a much-needed vacation.
00:50Or just put it in a savings account for a rainy day.
00:53In just three years, you'll have almost $7,000 worth of fresh air.
00:58Rather than kicking the habit, you can trade it out for a better one.
01:01Buy a 12-pack of sugar-free gum for about $10 that'll keep you chewing for a month or two.
01:06If gum isn't your thing, use that gym membership and make a healthy habit out of getting fit.
01:11When quitting proves to be too difficult, download the Quit Start app for free.
01:16You can track your progress, earn badges, gain tips to manage cravings, and play games to distract yourself from the habit.
01:22In no time, you'll be breathing a bit easier and spending more wisely.
