Imagine a person ( Indian) who smokes 2 packets of cigarettes per day , he continues smoking for 15 yrs and finally he dies due to some tobacco related diseases.
Can you guess roughly how much money he would have spend for buying cigars during this period ???
It comes to around 273750 rupees.
1 pkt = Rs. 25
So 2 pkts for 1 year = 50 * 365 = 18250 rupees.
so for 15 yrs = 273750 rupees.
Do you know the gravity of this amount ?????
This much amount is sufficient for a 4 membered family to get rice for around 100 years .
for a 4 membered family , cost of rice per day = Rs.7.5 (for 0.5 kg)
for 1 year it is = 7.5 *365 = 2737.5 rupees.
so with 273750 they can live around 273750 /2737.5 = 100yrs
