So I'd like to put in perspective how truly time consuming and worthless smoking is.
Lets just take someone who smokes 5 cigarettes a day as an example - that is only 1/4 pack. The average cigarette burns for about 7 minutes, so we'll use 7 minutes in our math problem.
After smoking 1 carton of cigarettes (200 smokes, which would take 40 days):
60 minutes = 1 hour (given)
200 cigarettes x 7 minutes = 1,400 minutes
1400 minutes / 60 minutes = 23.333 hours
It would've taken you 23.333 hours to smoke the cigarettes, on top of all the time you would knock off your life. So that'd be 23 hours of lost productivity - nearly 1 whole real day, or 3 8 hour days of work - just in the act of smoking.
For someone smoking a pack a day, they'd reach that same 23 hours and 20 minutes of time wasted in 10 days versus 40. I dunno, just something I thought I'd share for anyone who cares.
