Calculate smoking $’s
September 19, 2013
Heart Online has provided a new
element to their Heart Education
Assessment Rehabilitation Toolkit, a
smoker’s cost calculator.
The calculation tool is designed to
highlight to the smoker the annual &
lifetime $ cost of smoking.
It doesn’t attempt to take into
account the cost of compensating
medications required to manage
health problems associated with
smoking, namely cardiovascular
disease (CVD) , skin effects,
respiratory disease and of course
the increased risk for cancer.
Other calculation tools on the
website address some of these
issues and include calculators for
BMI, waist size, CVD risk and target
heart rate.
