Quit smoking money saved calculator — what you save, health milestones on your dates, and your quit plan
Short answer. Put in cigarettes a day, the price of a pack and your quit date: you get the money saved and the WHO health milestones on your own calendar. Within 20 minutes: Heart rate and blood pressure drop (WHO).
- 2 weeks smoke-free — circulation and lung function start to improve (WHO: 2–12 weeks): type the date
- 1 month smoke-free — coughing and shortness of breath start to decrease (WHO: 1–9 months): type the date
- 1 year smoke-free — coronary heart disease risk about half a smoker’s (WHO): type the date
Check your own case.
Dates are your quit date plus the start of each WHO period. They are milestones, not deadlines — everyone’s body is different.
