➡️ Pack-Years Calculation
Pack-years is a way to measure how much a person has smoked over their lifetime. It is calculated by multiplying the number of packs of cigarettes smoked per day by the number of years the person has smoked.

For example:

If a person smoked two packs of cigarettes per day for 10 years, this would equal 20 pack-years.

2 packs x 10 years = 20 pack-years

➡️ Explanation
This information is helpful for respiratory therapists and medical professionals when performing an assessment of a patient's medical history. A patient's total pack-years is a risk factor for developing smoking-related diseases, including COPD and lung cancer.

Respiratory therapists can play a vital role in helping patients quit smoking by providing information about:
- Risks
- Types of quitting methods
- Counseling services

In addition, respiratory therapists can also provide emotional support to help the patient cope with withdrawal symptoms and cravings.
