Smoking a few cigarettes a day costs about PLN 72 per month, which is the equivalent of 3 cinema tickets. And these costs are increasing over the years. However, regular cigarette smoking generates additional costs that are not included in the above statement. To kill the unpleasant aftertaste in the mouth, we buy chewing gums or toothpaste for smokers, deodorants and air fresheners that kill tobacco smell find a permanent place in smokers' homes. Lighters tend to get lost, so regular smokers spend a few extra zlotys on a new one. More often than non-smokers, they use professional teeth whitening at the dentists, which must be repeated from time to time. Lighters, matches, ashtrays, chewing gums, mouth fresheners, air fresheners, etc. are another PLN 400 a year. Teeth whitening at the dentist's office costs at least PLN 500. These are not the only costs that smokers incur. Assuming that you only spend 5 minutes smoking one cigarette, then with 20 cigarettes a day, you lose about … 608 hours a year!
