pack-a-day
Twenty cigarettes daily
Pack-a-day describes someone who smokes a pack of cigarettes daily, or the habit itself.
It functions as a compound adjective: a pack-a-day smoker, a pack-a-day habit.
The phrase serves as a rough measure of addiction severity—doctors ask about smoking history in packs per day.
Heavy smokers may be two- or three-pack-a-day.
