How to Use the Smoking Calculator

A Smoking Calculator is a simple tool that estimates the total number of cigarettes smoked, the number of cigarette packs consumed, and the total amount of money spent over a specific period.

What It Does:

This calculator takes three inputs:

• How many cigarettes do you smoke per day
• The price of a single pack
• How many years have you been smoking

Using these, it calculates:

• Total cigarettes smoked
• Total packs consumed
• Total money spent on cigarettes

Steps to Use:

1. Enter how many cigarettes you smoke per day.
2. Enter the price you pay for a single pack.
3. Enter the number of years you've been smoking.
4. Click the "Calculate Cost" button.
5. You’ll see the total impact in cigarettes and dollars right below.

This can help understand the financial cost of smoking, which is often underestimated.
