Moral: Don't smoke as a cost study warns
An exchange cites a calculation on weekly smoking expenditure of 81 dollars, investing 26 dollars semiannually at 7 percent compound interest. After 7 to 80 years the sums grow to 16,680.59, 128,641.64, and 184,773.14 respectively, suggesting cigars at 25 cents daily would nearly double these amounts. The moral urged is clear: Don't smoke.
