Over 1/2 million cigs smoked. What about you?

[Shortstuff116]

Absolutely nothing to be proud of and I'm actually very ashamed of it. I always blamed myself for my habit, nobody held a gun to my head, BUT more and more I've come to learn that not only do cigarettes have the powerful habit-forming and very addictive nicotine in them, but over the years big tobacco has added other chemicals to KEEP my addiction to cigarettes strong, hence spending all my hard-earned money on their product. All businesses are in business to make money, but they have been and continue to kill people doing it.

I started smoking over 36 years ago and after a lot of thought, remembering and number crunching, I've figured that I've averaged a little mor than 2 packs of cigarettes per day during my smoking life. So being a little on the conservative side:

36 years X 365 days X 40 cigs a day = 525,600 analogs smoked.

A disgusting reality that just adds another reason NOT to touch another analog as long as I live.

Do the math and see what you come up with.

8-o

328,5000

but now I'm enjoying counting the ciggs I *haven't* smoked. even though the number is two orders of magnitude smaller.

Good point! If I could match my cigarettes avoided to the ones I did smoke... wow... that would make me 90 years old, wearing depends, riding around in a hover-round and wearing hearing aids (turned off so I wouldn't have to listen to the wife!).

I've only smoked 1222 so far (roughly) but my PV is in Richmond so that number will keep increasing for a bit

 

[AJMoore]

20 a day X 365 = 7,300 X 41 years = 299,300. Ouch!

 

[PaulB]

38 yrs @25 a day (give or take, over the years and not even counting my juvenile experimentation) = 346,750

 

[ames001]

my number seems so small compared to everyone elses, but then again I'm 18

 

[Thyestean]

50/day for 20 years = 365,000

there were some short periods where I cut down to just under 2 packs a day but majority of the 20 years were 2 - 3 packs/ day usually closer to the 3.

 

[TickTock]

10 years @20 a day = 73k

 

[Rusty]

I smoked about 380,000 and have since not smoked over 11,000 - Scary 8-o

 

[JoeD4]

25 a day x 20 years x 365 = 182,500

Ya know, if I had a nickel for every cigarette I smoked I'd have $9,125 to spend on e-juice!

 

[bighatcowboy]

262,800

thats 13,140 packs.

72,270 dollars at modern day cig prices. While packs didn't always cost me 5.50. Half that dollar amount would probably be accurate on what I've spent on them, not counting lighters, ashtrays, etc.

35k, damn.

Another frightening aspect of smoking: Every cigarette smoked will take 10 minutes off of your life.... You do the math. Lol, it sounds like a TRUTH commercial.

 

[beecee]

~ 150k give or take...

 

[martha1014]

60 a day for 40 years = 876,000

Is is way too much but have avoided 18,000 sinch quit smoking and started vaping.

 

[Richie G]

60 a day for 40 years = 876,000

Is is way too much but have avoided 18,000 sinch quit smoking and started vaping.

Just to make the math easy -- 100s are 4 inches long.

876,000 X 4 = 3, 504,000 inches / 12 = 292000 ft / 5280 = 55.3 miles.

Martha, dear -- if you drove at 55 MPH for an hour the distance traveled would be the length of your cigarettes if laid end to end.

Wow. That's 3.42 years for me. Well, hopefully those were going to be the worst 3.42 years of my life and now I get to skip over them?

8-o 328,135 For me8-o Holy He!!....

 

[beast775]
