Smoking Cost Calculator
The rupees-and-years bill: pack cost compounded over decades, plus the life-time research figure.
Eight-a-day at ₹350/pack is ₹4,256 a month — ₹5.1 lakh over ten years, or ~₹8.7 lakh if the same money rode a 10% SIP. The non-financial line item from Doll's 50-year doctor study: each smoking decade costs ~2.5 years of life expectancy, and quitting by 40 claws back nearly all of it. Both ledgers favour the same decision.
