SMOKING can cost a couple half as much as their mortgage because theycough up twice as much for financial products

Now that smokers will have to hang around in freezing streets to escape the smoke-free zones, many will try even harder to pack it in.

If they succeed, they will greatly improve their wealth as well as their health.

Smokers now cough up twice as much as non-smokers for many financial products -and could lose out to the tune of [euro]156,000 over 25 years.

Quitters can tot up potential savings of over [euro]100 a month on one financial productalone.

A non-smoking 35-year-old couple would pay [euro]130 a month for [euro]200,000-worth ofserious illness cover with the cheapest provider (Friends First), according tointernet-based intermediary www.labrokers.ie.
