As well as the obvious health benefits to giving up smoking, you could save a small fortune.
If you smoke 20 cigarettes a day at an average of £12.50 per pack, you would save more than £4,500 over the course of a year.
Here are just some of the things you could do with that money instead in our fine county.
In fact, you could do them all and still have a bit of change!
5. Spend a weekend doing everything there is to do in Blackpool
Price £500 approx (family of 5). Spend some of the money you've saved on a full weekend of entertainment in Blackpool. Get wristbands for the pleasure beach, a family pass for the Sandcastle, go to the top of Blackpool Tower, spend some time in the arcades, eat fish and chips walking along the promenade, go on a donkey ride. Do everything there is to do and enjoy a fun-filled weekend with the family. Photo: NW
