Understanding Smoking Exposure and Health Risks
How the Calculator Works
This calculator estimates your lifetime cigarette exposure by multiplying your daily smoking rate by the total duration you've been smoking. It provides several key metrics used by healthcare professionals to assess smoking-related health risks.
Key Calculations
- •Total Cigarettes: Daily rate × Total smoking days
- •Pack-Years: (Cigarettes/day ÷ 20) × Years smoked
- •Time Spent: Total cigarettes × 5 minutes per cigarette
- •Financial Cost: Total packs × Cost per pack
Health Risks of Smoking
Cancer Risks
Lung, throat, bladder, pancreatic, and many other cancers. Risk increases significantly with pack-years.
Cardiovascular Disease
Heart attacks, strokes, and peripheral artery disease. Risk begins immediately upon smoking.
Respiratory Disease
COPD, emphysema, and chronic bronchitis. Lung function decline accelerates with continued smoking.
Other Effects
Reduced fertility, premature aging, weakened immune system, and delayed wound healing.
Good News: Quitting smoking provides immediate health benefits and reduces long-term risks significantly.
