    The Heavy Co$t of Smoking

    Uploaded by

    Karen (Weber) Cornelissen, Kara Scheerhorn, and Courtney Todd designed and created this poster. This infographic compares the cost of smoking to other expenses to demonstrate the way that smoking compromises a person's ability to be healthy. Smoking harms the body, but it also cuts into a person's budget-a cost many smokers are not able to afford, because healthy living has a cost too (medications, exercise gear, etc.).
