Croatian smokers consumed as many as 484 million packs of cigarettes in one year. This means that on average, each smoker smokes about 9,700 cigarettes annually, spending approximately 39,000 minutes or 650 hours on this activity, which is nearly a month of life, or 2.5 working months, writes jutarnji.hr.
During this time, smokers could spend up to two hours a day in the gym or read 100 pages of a good book. If the official figures were to include boxes purchased illegally, the data on smoked cigarettes would likely double. Each smoker could save around ten thousand kuna each year, and in ten years, they could buy a decent car. (www.jutarnji.hr)
