Your Current Age:

How many cigarettes do you smoke per day?

How much does 20 cigarettes cost? (£)

Calculations assume: £2/10ml e-liquid, 5ml/day usage for a 20/day smoker (or equivalent), £15 initial starter kit cost, and estimated ongoing coil costs. Roll-ups assumed average 0.75g tobacco. Lifetime savings based on switching until an assumed average life expectancy of 81.

Understanding Your Results:

Yearly Costs: Compare the estimated annual cost of your current smoking habit versus the estimated ongoing cost of vaping (based on equivalent usage).
First-Year Savings: This shows your potential net savings in the first 12 months, factoring in the initial £15 cost of a typical starter kit.
Lifetime Savings: This powerful number projects your potential savings from now until the average UK life expectancy (assumed to be 81), highlighting the long-term financial benefit.
Graph: Watch how the costs diverge over the first year – the gap between the lines represents your growing savings!

Important Assumptions:

To provide these estimates, the calculator uses the following assumptions:

E-Liquid Cost: £2 per 10ml bottle.
E-Liquid Usage: 5ml per day for a 20-a-day smoker (scaled based on your input).
Roll-up Weight: Average of 0.75g of tobacco per roll-up cigarette.
Coil Costs: Estimated based on usage intensity (details in calculator).
Starter Kit: A one-off cost of £15 in the first year.
Life Expectancy: Assumed average of 81 years for lifetime calculations.
