Frequently asked questions
- Does the calculator include tax increases?
- No — it uses a fixed price. Tobacco taxes have historically risen faster than inflation, so the real future cost will likely be higher.
- What about health costs?
- This calculator covers only direct purchase costs. Smoking-related healthcare costs and lost productivity add substantially to the total.
