Calculadora de costes del tabaquismo

How much is smoking really costing you?

Smoking doesn’t just damage your health—it also puts a serious dent in your finances. Whether you're a regular or occasional smoker, the costs can quickly spiral without you even realising it.

Use our Smoking Cost Calculator to find out how much you spend on cigarettes or tobacco every day, week, month, and year. Seeing the numbers laid out can be a powerful motivator to cut down or quit altogether.

Cost of smoking per year

The average smoker in the UK spends thousands of pounds each year on cigarettes or tobacco. Even a small daily habit adds up fast. For example:

• Smoking 10 cigarettes a day at £13 per pack (20s) costs over £2,300 a year

• Smoking 20 a day could set you back more than £4,500 annually

That’s money that could be going towards holidays, savings, home improvements, or family activities instead of feeding a habit that harms your health.

Our calculator works it all out for you. Simply enter how many cigarettes you smoke each day and how much you pay for a pack, or input your rolling tobacco costs. You'll see a full breakdown of your daily, weekly, monthly, and annual spending—and how much you could save by quitting.

What happens when you quit smoking?

Quitting smoking brings immediate and long-term benefits for both your health and your wallet. Within days of stopping, your blood pressure and circulation improve, your sense of taste and smell return, and your lung function begins to recover.

A largo plazo:

• Your risk of heart disease and stroke falls significantly

• You’re far less likely to develop cancer, chronic bronchitis, and other serious illnesses

• You’ll have more energy, better skin, and improved mental wellbeing

And financially, the savings start from day one. If you currently spend £40 per week on smoking, quitting could save you over £2,000 a year—money that could go towards things you truly value.
