About this tool

No lectures — just the arithmetic of a habit. Enter cigarettes per day, the price per pack (US pricing by default), and years smoked, and this calculator totals the daily, weekly, yearly, and ten-year cost, plus how many packs a year that represents. A time line applies the published research estimate of roughly eleven minutes of life lost per cigarette — clearly labeled as a population average, never a personal prediction. For motivation with a compound-interest twist, the yearly cost is re-run as if invested at 5 percent, showing a future-value table at 5, 10, and 20 years; real returns are never guaranteed and taxes and inflation are not modeled. A quit-today timeline shows savings from day one. It is an educational estimate — not medical advice, and any day is a good day to start.
