Smoking - It Costs You Money But Can You Make Money?

Are You Smoking Away Your Smile? It an interesting question. More importantly, are you smoking away your life savings? Experts predict that smokers that consume one packet each day could be burning close to half a million dollars over their lifetime. I think they are basing these figures on someone who invested that same amount each day. Even so, it does cost a lot in terms of dollars and they say it also costs in health issues like extra dental bills, respiratory and heart problems and even issues like varicose veins.

Rather than smoking away your retirement, why not turn it into a profitable business - and no, you can't sell the ash or your butts. There are, however, millions of people around the world who want to quit. Where there are people willing to pay for a service, there is always going to be a franchise of some description.
