Is Connecticut Too Expensive For Smokers?

Wow. Wait until you read state by state how much people are plunking down to buy those "death sticks."

Connecticut is one of the more expensive states in the country to be a smoker. Aside from the numerous health benefits of quitting for good, think of what you could do with the extra cash!

According to WalletHub.com the cost of being a smoker in Connecticut is over two-million-dollars over a lifetime, and 41-thousand-dollars a year. The report takes into account the cost of cigarettes and health care, and factors in the amount of interest the money would have earned if invested instead.

All of the data ranks the 50 states lowest to highest. Connecticut ranks 47th on the list.  Wallethub.com has all the info.

I've never been a smoker, honestly besides the health risks, I'm WAY TO CHEAP! Mama needs new shoes.
