Financial Waste

The worst of being a smoker is not only the health risk but also the financial cost. This website informs us about a health service relating to the expenses and space taken up in hospitals treating approximately a thousand patients per day in the UK, all relating to smoking. It also mentions that the UK Government receives an amount of 9million annually worth of cigarettes. This basically means primary smokers have a financial effect on many lives and if this matter continues it could later on lead to poverty in most families.





The following websites indicates how much an average smoker wastes their money on cigarettes weekly, monthly or annually, also the influence it has on children. The influence of smoking around children is said to certainly increase the child's chances in following the footsteps of someone they idolize who is a smoker.


This website expresses the issue of careless smoking. Which is said to be the leading cause of death through fire disasters around the world, becoming a huge impact towards human health within the environment and society. This shows a vast amount of up to $6.5 billion, spent on damages to prevent the fight against fires in the U.s.
