Answer:

According to the National Cancer Institute, the average cost of a pack of cigarettes is $6.28, which means a pack-a-day habit sets you back $188 per month or $2,292 per year.

So we times that by two which would be $4,584 a year.

With this amount of money you could purchase a stocks, jewlery, car, or anything else that is under that amount.
