Quit smoking 'to boost savings'
14/03/2007
Today is national No Smoking Day and Co-operative Insurance (CIS) is urging smokers to quit cigarettes to boost their savings.
Fiona Jackson, head of protection at CIS, suggests that someone who can give up smoking "can certainly take charge of their own financial destiny" too.
She says that anyone who can give up such an addictive habit as smoking tobacco will be able to make adequate financial provisions for the future.
CIS also indicates that smokers who kick the habit can reduce their life cover, income protection and critical illness insurances.
"Giving up smoking can save people a significant amount as well as hopefully bringing a longer and better quality of life," Ms Jackson states.
"Our customers will definitely reap the rewards [from CIS' protection products] if they can kick the habit and no longer watch their money go up in smoke."
CIS' comments follow similar advice issued by mortgage company John Charcol yesterday.
The home loan firm suggested that savings made from quitting smoking could be put towards mortgage repayments.
