    Frequently asked questions

    How is the savings amount calculated?+

    We multiply your cigarettes per day by the cost per cigarette (price per pack divided by 20) to get your daily spend, then extrapolate to weekly, monthly, yearly, 5-year and 10-year totals. Numbers are pre-tax and do not include inflation.

    What's the average price of a pack of cigarettes in the US?+

    As of 2026 the US national average is roughly $8 per pack, but this varies widely — from around $6 in tobacco-belt states to over $14 in New York City. Adjust the price above to match what you actually pay.

    How much cheaper are nicotine pouches than cigarettes?+

    A can of nicotine pouches typically costs $3–$6 and lasts about a day for a pack-a-day user. Compared to $8 per pack of cigarettes, that's roughly 30–60% less per day — before factoring in lighters, ashtrays, and dry cleaning.

    Are nicotine pouches a good way to quit?+

    Nicotine pouches are a smoke-free way to consume nicotine and are commonly used by adults switching away from cigarettes. This calculator only compares cost — for medical guidance, talk to your doctor or a licensed cessation program.

    Does this include taxes and inflation?+

    No. We use the price you enter as-is. Cigarette prices tend to rise faster than general inflation, so real long-term savings are typically higher than the numbers shown here.
