More potential benefits from quitting smoking and staying quit:

• Your sense of taste and smell may improve.

• Your breath, hair, and clothes won’t smell like smoke.

• When you quit smoking, the savings can add up. The cost of a pack of cigarettes varies from state to state. The national average cost of a pack of cigarettes is $4.26. If you smoke 1 pack a day, quitting will save you an average  of more than $1,500 a year. Your actual savings may be more or less.
