average smoker smokes about 20 cigarettes a day. so it's a little less than half of a monthly use of cigarettes.

from what i understand the ration was meant to supplement what you consume, not provide everything

Is 20 cigs a day honestly the average nowadays?? Mind blowing and sad. My mum who was an addicted smoker since she was 10 years of age and went through maybe 5 to 10 cigs a day.

it's been the average for a long time. it's due to nicotine's pharmacological effects. its half life is roughly 1~2 hours. so a smoker on average will feel the compulsion to smoke an hour or so after the last cigarette. since most people are awake somewhere 16 hours a day, that's about ~16 cigarettes a day.

your mom's smoking habits were definitely atypical
