How the numbers are worked out

Cans a week times the price of a can gives your weekly spend. A year is 52 weeks of that, a month is a twelfth of the year, and the five- and ten-year figures assume nothing changes. Prices rise over time, so the long-term figures are, if anything, low.

A standard can of Zyn holds 15 pouches. If you use ten a day, that is about 4.7 cans a week. If you count pouches rather than cans, divide your weekly pouches by the number in a can to get cans a week.

What quitting gives back

The money comes back gradually on a taper, then all at once. On the planner's three-week step-down from ten a day, you use fewer than half your usual number of pouches across the plan, and none after quit day. The PouchWise app counts it as you go: every pouch under your old baseline is money you can see.
