Smokers ‘could improve debt problems’ by quitting
Kicking the smoking habit could help Britons with their debt problems, it has been claimed.
Figures from Alliance & Leicester show that the average addict sees almost £2,000 a year go up in smoke.
And as the July 1st ban on smoking in public places approaches, the financial services provider suggests that abstaining could benefit financial health as well as physical wellbeing.
Ross Dalzell, manager for savings at Alliance & Leicester, states: “Kicking the habit isn’t an easy thing to do, but the benefits speak for themselves.”
“By investing the money saved in a high interest account each month and working towards a long-term goal, smokers will hopefully find the will power to permanently kick the habit,” the spokesperson adds.
Insurance provider More Than previously warned that pets could face increased health risks from second-hand smoke as the ban could drive more owners to smoke in their own homes.
As a result, veterinary bills could leave many Britons facing bad debt conditions from July onwards.
