Quick answer

Ten cigarettes a day at ₹18 each costs about ₹5,470 a month and ₹65,700 a year. Over 10 years that is ₹6.57 lakh, and if the money went into a SIP earning 10% a year instead, it could grow to over ₹11 lakh. Health gains start within days of quitting; free help is available on India's National Tobacco Quitline, 1800-11-2356.

How to use this calculator

  1. Enter how many you use a day.
  2. Enter the price of each.
  3. Add an investment return to see what the money could grow to.
