How many cancer sticks have you smoked in your lifetime?

[Fat Elvis]

This is a spinoff of a thread highjack....

Here is a calculator that lets you figure how many cigarettes you've smoked in your lifetime.

For those of us who either smoke or have smoked, it is pretty mind-boggling how many coffin nails we've inhaled.

Me, I quit about 16 and a half years ago. Still, I smoked about 118706 cigarettes, or about 5935 packs of cigarettes. The number is probably a bit higher, but still, that is a lot of cigarettes if you think about it.

Another way of looking at it, if you place the cigarettes end to end (assuming king sized, once again, not always the case), I would of smoked a cigarette that was over 5 1/6 miles long.

1 maybe? Took a puff once or twice...but thats about it. Never cared much for the smell that sticks in your clothes, furniture, house, car, etc......

Was never a pack a day smoker when I smoked, it was more like 2-3 packs a week. It was for about four years so I came up with 11688.

[Chief Roundup]

252,023 Cigarettes, or roughly 12,601 packs

none. Coming from a family full of smokers I knew it was a disgusting habit.

It blows my mind people are so judgmental. Probably because their mother didn't breast feed them. Isn't formula basically the same as breast milk? That's just pathetic.

maybe around 10 when I was a kid.
probably smoke a couple cigars a year on the river.

Pack a week x 1.5 years...approx 1560. I had weeks I smoked less and then days with Mr Flopnuts that I smoked a pack every 5 minutes. He's a bad influence.

If it takes 15 minutes, you aren't smoking it. My mom, who quit over 30 years ago and used to be a 3 pack/day smoker, told me she used to smoke 3 cigarettes in between classes in college- the classes she was referring to were 5 minutes apart.

no cigarettes. Probably about 25 cigars in my life.

I was a light half pack a day smoker, so I figure about 183,000.

[DeepPurple]

621,000 cigarettes. I was a chain smoker and also an air traffic controller, 2/3's of us smoked in that job back in the 70's. I smoked 2-1/2 packs from 1971 until 2006 minus twice I quit for six months each, so I calculated 34 years. I enjoyed it, I never wanted to quit. I was given a prescription for a drug called "Chantax", it has no nicotine. I quit after 5 days, now that I've quit, I wish I had never started.

3-4.

Tried them in high school.

Thought it wasn't anything special so might as well stop before I get started.

disgusting habit.

In 83 probably about .75-.80 a pack depending on what state you lived in and where you bought them. Could probably buy a carton for about the same price of a pack now.

Pretty hard to estimate mine accurately in that I have quit for over a year twice and 5 years once and a number of shorter periods being on the patch, or e-cig but 150,000-250,000 more or less is pretty close. If I had invested all the money I have spent of Smokes, booze and so forth I could retire now and live out my days not as a rich man but middleclass.
