Formula & Methodology
Cigarettes Avoided = Days Since Quit × Cigarettes per Day Before Money Saved = Cigarettes Avoided × (Cost per Pack ÷ Cigarettes per Pack) Worked example — 60 days since quitting, previously smoking 15 cigarettes per day at $8 per pack of 20: Cigarettes Avoided = 60 × 15 = 900 cigarettes Money Saved = 900 × (8 ÷ 20) = $360
Frequently Asked Questions
