Health risks aside.... do the math on the amount of money it'll take.

If he does get hooked, and ends up smoking even half a pack a day.. that's 365/2 = 182.5

Now, smoke prices vary from place to place... but let's say an even $5 a pack for the sake of making this easy. It'll be $20 a pack within 10 years I'm sure though.

Anyway, $182.5 x $5 a day = $912.50

Imagine spending a grand on smoking each year... just to waste away your health.

And that's a best case scenario. Chances are, if you're hooked... it'll be more than half a pack, and $5 is cheap....

So save the money... put it towards something more useful.
