The first year is where the habit breaks.
The first twelve months are about relearning your days without a cigarette in your hand. The money is real, but it is secondary to the routine.
The first year is the hardest and the cheapest. A pack a day at the US average of $8.39 is roughly three thousand dollars you would have spent — and roughly the same amount you now have to redirect. The point of this page is to make that redirect deliberate: pick a number, give it a job, and the year passes on its own.
The calculator above takes your actual cigarettes-per-day and local pack price, so the number you see is yours, not the average. Adjust the inputs and the headline figure updates with them.
