Quit smoking now, save more than money
Quit smoking now, save more than money
Beginning last month, cigarettes cost an extra dollar per pack in Illinois due to the recently enacted increase in the state tax. Taxes on other tobacco products went up a shortly thereafter. We know this is bad news for smokers. In fact, we’re counting on it! This gives us an opportunity to remind smokers that now is a perfect time to quit.
If you continue to smoke, not only will tobacco cost you more money, it is likely that it will disable and/or kill you. That’s the real cost of tobacco use. Is that a price you and your family are ready to pay?
