Research from vaping experts @IndeJuice revealed how much money you could save, based on the average UK cost for a pack of twenty cigarettes over various time-spans.

They broke down how much money you could save throughout your lifetime if you kicked the habit for good.

According to the eye-opening report, an occasional smoker could save £598 a year.

Frequent smokers however can expect to see staggering savings in the long run – banking up to £41,975 over ten years from quitting smoking.

This is the equivalent of:
- A 20% deposit on a £200,000 property 🏡
- The price of a Porsche Cayman 🚘
- Nearly a kilogram of 24 carat gold 🤑

Smoking one pack of cigarettes a day comes at the price of roughly £11.50 per pack.

If you gave that up, you would save more than £300 a month, or £4,197 over the course of a year.

That extra money could be used for:
- A holiday abroad for four people 🏝
- The cost of running your car for ten years ⛽️
- Paying for a gym membership for eleven years 🏋️‍♂️

Furthermore, if you smoke just one pack of cigarettes a week at the same average cost, you could find £2,991 in your pocket over the next five years.

The money saved by quitting smoking for one year could cover the cost of:
- A three-course meal for two, eleven times a year 🍝
- Nine weekly food shops 🛍
- Seven annual Netflix subscriptions 📺

A spokesperson for @IndeJuice said: 'Many smokers are already aware of the harm imposed on their body by regularly smoking, but it is easy to overlook the financial savings that could be made by choosing to quit for good.'
