Renowned economist Anand Srinivasan highlights a critical financial trap that prevents many from saving: the habit of smoking. He points out that while the health risks are well-known, the economic impact—especially for lower and middle-income groups—is devastating. From the daily drain on income caused by buying beedis and low-cost cigarettes to the massive, long-term medical expenses and loss of life savings due to tobacco-related illnesses, smoking acts as a "silent killer" of wealth. By quitting and redirecting that small daily expense into smart investments like mutual funds, individuals can leverage the power of compounding to build a secure financial future.
