The Smoking Cost Calculator quantifies both the financial and life cost of smoking based on daily cigarette consumption and local pack price.
Cost per cigarette = price per pack ÷ cigarettes per pack. This is multiplied across daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly timescales.
Research published in the British Medical Journal (Shaw et al., 2000) estimated each cigarette shortens life by approximately 11 minutes, accounting for cardiovascular, respiratory, and cancer mortality risk.
