How many cigarettes do you smoke on average per day? I'm at around a box a day, and if I have a deadline, I go beyond that due to stress.

Same here.
Generally I open a box at the same time as the previous day. So about 20 every 24 hours.

If I'm bored I smoke a lot. Not when I'm busy.

2 packs last me about 3 days.
Pack a day over weekends.
Pack or more when there's stress.

With me it's the opposite. And with WFH, it's easy to just light up because I'm in my own house, and not the office.

At work, it's just too much effort. I have to take the lift down and then deal with the other smoke-breakers' annoying chatter - so unless I'm stressed, I tend to not smoke when at work.

I've found going outside for a smoke helps not to light up more often.
I tend to smoke outdoors more.

Nope, in the garage, but it takes me literally 3 steps to get to the inside garage door. When the kids are both home on the same day, I tend to work from the garge due to their noise. Double garage, but we have only one car, so the one side is always empty. Those days are the worst because then I just light up, not having to get up at all since it's more convenient.

but when im at work going outside to get a breather makes me smoke more

Replying to this,

I have my stoep, so i never smoke indoors, even when visiting people that smoke inside. I will sneak in a smoke in the car, when i am alone...... All windows open, even in winter. In summer air con is off, and all windows open. On holiday i will make more frequent stops, at all the one-stops

A pack a day

EDIT: Even though I am a staunch supporter of personal liberty I wish tobacco gets banned already.

I've been working from home for the last 6 years. Never smoke in the house, always outside on the patio and still I did 2 packs a day. That was more than a year ago; since going over to a nic-salt vape I haven't touched a smoke since and don't miss it. 5 of us made the move, only one has gone back to smokes
