A stop smoking calculator can provide a rough idea of how much you'd save if you switched from smoking cigarettes to using an e-cigarette vaporizer product. These devices are pretty basic, they simply calculate the cost of the cigarettes you consume and compare them to the costs of using a vaporizer, which is sometimes called "vaping". Vaping has other cost benefits aside from the generally lower cost when compared to buying tobacco cigarettes. To calculate the full cost, however, you start with the stop smoking calculator.
Remember to answer the questions honestly. Most smokers tend to understate the amount of cigarettes they smoke. For instance, a smoker who is cracking open a fresh pack every evening will sometimes describe themselves as a pack-a-day smoker, even though they smoke a pack during the daylight hours and start working on another at night. Getting an accurate estimate of your potential savings from a stop smoking calculator requires that you give an accurate measure of how much tobacco you actually consume. If you use a pipe or smoke cigars, you'll have to calculate using the cost of the cigars or of tobacco products on a daily basis.
The stop smoking calculator will tell you how much money you'll save by switching to an average e-cigarette. There are some devices that can save you more money and some e-cigarette products that may save you less. Your total savings will also depend on how much you actually use the e-cigarette. E-cigs don't stay lit once you turn them on, so there's no reason to smoke an entire cigarette's worth of puffs when you decide to have a break. In some cases, you might find a few puffs off of an e-cigarette satisfying enough, and you'll end up saving a bit of time that you'd normally spend smoking an entire cigarette.
The stop smoking calculator also can't take into account how much you'll save because of avoiding tobacco price hikes. Tobacco has become more and more expensive over the years and it's frequently the subject of very high taxes. E-cigarettes contain no tobacco and are not tobacco products in any way. Compared to smoking tobacco, the savings can end up being much more than what a calculator will show, but the calculators do give you a good idea of how much you'd save just based on not buying tobacco products.
