Data Source and Methodology

All calculations are based strictly on the formulas and data provided from NHS Inform. All calculations are based strictly on the formulas and data provided by this source.

The Formula Explained

Weekly Cost: \(\text{Daily Cigarettes} \times \frac{\text{Price Per Pack}}{\text{Cigarettes Per Pack}} \times 7\)

Monthly Cost: \(\text{Weekly Cost} \times 4.33\)

Yearly Cost: \(\text{Monthly Cost} \times 12\)

Glossary of Variables

  • Daily Cigarettes: The number of cigarettes smoked per day.
  • Price per Pack: The cost of one pack of cigarettes.
  • Cigarettes per Pack: The number of cigarettes in a single pack.

How It Works: A Step-by-Step Example

Consider a smoker who consumes 20 cigarettes per day, with the price per pack being $10 and each pack containing 20 cigarettes. The weekly cost is calculated as follows: \(20 \times \frac{10}{20} \times 7 = $70\). Thus, the monthly cost is approximately \(70 \times 4.33 = $303.1\) and the yearly cost is \(303.1 \times 12 = $3,637.2\).
