Cigarette Smoking. WHY Did I Decide To Guesstimate This Fact?

[SlowwHand]

As I guesstimate, and in advance I'll tell Asher to STFU, I've smoked about 383,250 cigarettes in my life.
Over 19,162 cartons.

JEEsus! I'm surprised I'm as great as I am after that alone.

Lightweight.

bout 25 years for me at ~ 1 pack a day

OMG, all that money literally up in smoke just so I can die a few years sooner

[SlowwHand]

That's good. A rebuttal without facts. Why am I not surprised?

The cartons as well

That's the number of packs. It's "only" 1,916 cartons.

Wow, your lungs must be blacker than your heart!

I've smoked my way to a very ugly and smelly middle-age.

[Japher]

about 142,350 cigs for me, or about 7,118 packs
that's on 711.8 cartons

the cost alone made me quit, and the added health benefits has been a bonus

Your dedication to lung bronchitis is commendable.

Good (hack) morning. (cough)

Would I be right in guessing that's 30 a day for 35 years? Are you sure you haven't overestimated? Remember when you first started the beautiful habit (I've recently quit...) you probably smoked a lot less for the first few years.

It makes my estimated 73,000 seem pitiful anyway....

i dont wanna sound like a jerk here, as Slowwy is my buddy, but quitting smoking was one of the smartest things i have ever done. the 5 most annoying parts to smoking:

1) i smelled like smoke all the time even after i showered
2) chiefing for a cigarette in the most inconvienent of times
3) not spending my money on other things i needed
4) criticism of family/friends/employers/important people and open discrimination of the fact i smoked
5) frequent coughing and shortness of breath

i am not going to sit here and preach on how much better i am than anybody for quitting smoking, as quite frankly my life sucks right now and i am struggling greatly to survive. but if i was a smoker ON TOP OF all my other problems, it would be that much harder for me to make it in this world for the 5 reasons i mentioned above. i am not also going to sit here and tell yall smokers how to run your lives, as i am the last person in the world to give advice. but i will say to some of you on here who are my good buddies, you know who you are: please be careful, and you have my support.

I guesstimate I've had 30,000 - 40,000 cigs. I smoked for ~10 years before I finally quit. The amount fluctuated quite a bit, peaking at a pack a day for a short time.
