You spend $2464/year on cigarettes.

  • You spend about $2464 per year on cigarettes at your current rate.
  • Based on your years-smoked estimate, you have already spent roughly $24,638 on cigarettes over your lifetime.
  • If you quit today and invested those savings, they could grow to about $30,989 over 10 years.
  • Quitting for 10 years could spare you roughly 760 days (about 2.1 years) of lost life expectancy, based on the 2025 UCL estimate of about 20 minutes of life lost per cigarette (17 minutes for men, 22 for women).

Next stepCutting to fewer than 10 cigarettes per day and then quitting is a proven step-down strategy. Ask your doctor about a quit plan.
