Since tastes and smells can be the same, smoking tobacco seems like putting ash to your mouth for me. A 20-tobacco pack costs around 4.5 Euros so it's expensive as well.
20 tobacco pack as in 20g or 20 straights? Either one of those for 4.5 Euros is pretty damn cheap compared to here.

Day 1-Having a lunch break without a fag is surprisingly difficult
He used to smoke three packs of 20 cigarettes every day. Quit 30 years ago though.
That's an absurdly high number of cigarettes. I don't think I've smoked more than 25 in a day and that was a hellishly stressed out day, and after that many, often 4-5 in a row, I would start to feel like like shit and taste/smell like an astray. Regularly, I don't think I'd have more than 5-6 a day, and a 'bad' day wouldn't be more than 10-15 in a single day (and they'd be spaced out pretty good too).
I know a few people who are pack-a-day kind of people (20-25 a day) and one person who is a two pack-a-day guy, but three is just crazy. IMO, I consider a pack-a-day to be a lot, and two packs a day to be falling on the side of excessive. I can certainly understand why he'd have severe lung problems after having 60 a day for a long period of time.
Some people just sit there and light one off the end of the last. If a cig takes a couple of minutes to smoke then 60 is only two hours smoking. And, you know, some people just sit there in front of the TV or computer day after day with a cig in one hand and a drink in the other.
I knew people when I was at university who did that. Can easily imagine them going through 60 a day.
I don't know what the actual numbers are though, I never bothered to time it.

Yes, starting from 4.5 Euros starting for a 20 pcs pack. A big chunk of that is tax. Well not too surprising it can be more expensive, but atleast American smokers will have it cheaper because of more lax taxation. With around 5 euros/20pcs, you can calculate how much money you use on tobacco each year and will come to some pretty high numbers.

I asked him again about that, and he did say he smoked 2 packs (40 cigarettes) on a normal day but often on some days 3 packs too. I even had to ask whether he was talking about 20 cigarette packs, and yes he was. Quit completely after his doctor pretty much just said you will die if you won't, but I suppose it's slightly interesting the major lung problems started only a long time after quitting.
