| Have you ever wondered how many kilometers of cigarettes you have smoked so far? The idea for the post was given to me by a friend who has been an active smoker for 40 years. Here is his simple calculation... | Da li ste se kada zapitali koliko kilometara cigareta ste ispušili do sada? Ideju za objavu mi je dao prijatelj koji je aktivni pušač već 40 godina. Evo njegove proste računice... |

| The average length of the cigarette he smokes is: 8,5 cm, of which the (non-smoking) filter is 2,5 cm long. So the part of the cigar he smokes is about 6 cm, maybe a little shorter but we will take 6 cm as an average. | Prosječna dužina cigare koju on puši iznosi: 8,5 cm, od toga je filter (koji se ne puši) dug: 2,5 cm. Dakle, dio cigare koji on ispuši iznosi približno 6 cm, možda malo kraće ali uzećemo 6 cm kao prosjek. |
| Next, he says to smoke at least 20 cigarettes a day... That comes roughly: 6 cm x 20 pieces = 120 cm ---> 1,2 m. | Dalje, on kaže da ispuši najmanje 20 komada cigareta na dan... To dođe otprilike: 6 cm x 20 komada = 120 cm ---> 1,2 m. |
| If we multiply that by 30 days, we get a calculation of how much he actually smokes in about one month. 120 cm x 30 = 3 600 cm ---> 36 m. | Ako to pomnožimo sa 30 dana dobijemo računicu koliko zapravo ispuši otprilike za jedan mjesec. 120 cm x 30 = 3 600 cm ---> 36 m. |
| In a year it would be: 3 600 cm x 12 months = 43 200 cm ---> 432 m. | Za godinu dana to bi bilo: 3 600 cm x 12 mjeseci = 43 200 cm --->432 m. |
| In his case (active smoker 40 years), it is: 43 200 cm x 40 years = 1 728 000 cm ---> 17 280 m ---> 17,28 km. | U njegovom slučaju (aktivni pušač 40 godina), to iznosi: 43 200 cm x 40 godina = 1 728 000 cm ---> 17 280 m ---> 17,28 km. |
| In short, that's it. What are your numbers? | Ukratko, to je to. Kakve su vaše brojke? |
