Re: I've already saved $210
Thursday, for the Great American Smokeout, msn.com had an article about the lifetime costs of smoking, including lower earnings, lower pension payouts (dying earlier so not collecting as much), costs of cleaning more often, less job security, b/c many states do not have antidescrimiation laws for smoking, so some employers are starting to fire smokers, the list goes on. I have never smoked, but was still surprised at some of the items on the list, such as lower auto resale value, and the job loss info. Sobering.
