<prompt> Human: Original post Assumptions 16 cigarettes per day this is where it was when I quit, Id probably be over a pack by now if I let the trend continue 7 per pack. I initially used 6.50 but prices have increased significantly since I quit, 7 is probably still a lowballResults Days quit: 1001 Cigarettes not smoked: 16,016 Money Saved: 5,606 Time not spent smoking: 66 days, 17 hours, and 36 minutes 54 of the way to being at the same risk of lung cancer as a non-smokerLast time I posted regarding this I had talked about being excited that we could use the money saved to buy a bed. Well unfortunately the apartment complex got bedbugs so that is long gone. However we have since been able to save up enough to purchase a house, where my fiance and I now live. Im also glad to report that she has also been smoke free for almost 2 years. Quitting smoking has drastically increased my productivity at work. It turns out that your social circle actually expands pretty significantly when you no longer smell like an ashtray constantly. I also qualify for much cheaper supplemental life insurance through my employer now that I dont have to list myself as having smoked in the past 12 months. I cannot stress the intangible benefits of quitting enough.  <response>: 13 months off the smokes here - congrats on your milestone! cant wait to get there myself
