what is the most efficiant way to split a carton of cigarettes between 3 people and make it last a week?

we are all heavy smokers but smoke a lot less when we share from one pack.

Update:

i was thinking about only having one pack a day and splitting that pack evenly each day, would this work?

Update 2:

to the people that dont know i ment one pack from the carton each day and splitting that up 3 ways and keeping the extra 2

    Well, you heavy smokers are going to have to lighten up if you want them to last just about all week.

    An equitable split is 3 packs plus 6 cigs each, flip a coin for the other 2 cigs and don't smoke more than 8-9 cigarettes per day for each of you.

    well it depends on how many cigarettes there are in the pack.

    if there are 21 (for example) each of you could have one cigarette each day.

    if there are 20 (this is the average, right) each of you can have one cigarette for 6 days of the week with 2 left over at the end of the week.

    the equation is: number of cigarettes divided by 21 (which is 3 people times 7 days) is the number of cigarette each person can have per day.

    this is a weird question.

    Play rock paper scissors and who ever loses gets 6 packs.The other 2 get one pack a day for one week.
