New York Cigarette Smokers’ Guide

SmokingOn Score combines smoking access (80%), pack affordability (15%) and packaging preference (5%). Access: indoor Yes 100, conditional indoor 85; outdoor Yes 75, conditional outdoor 60; No 0 in every setting. Reviewed No-except answers without a normally usable arrangement score 0; the legal exception remains explained. Usable separate indoor smoking rooms and property-approved bedrooms retain conditional indoor points. Permitted indoor arrangements rank above permitted outdoor arrangements; accommodation questions 32%, going out 36%, outdoors 18%, journey 14%. Affordability: 100 minus 5 times the USD price of 20 Marlboro cigarettes, clamped to 0–100 ($20 or more = 0). Use an applicable official tariff or verified Red price first; a dated manufacturer Marlboro baseline can supply the benchmark with its market, snapshot date and unspecified variant disclosed. A statutory minimum is a lower bound, not a retail observation; affordability is unscored when only that minimum is known. Packaging: branded 100, partially restricted 50, plain 0. The 5% packaging weight is split equally between branding and warning presentation. Warning points: text-only = 100 minus mean front/back coverage; pictures = half that value. Confirmed absent warnings with zero front/back coverage = 100. Pictures covering at least half the mean front/back area are prominent; smaller pictures or text covering at least half are moderate; smaller text is limited. Unknown coverage is unscored. These are stated visual preferences, not health or quality ratings. Missing inputs and legally unclear answers are excluded and disclosed, never treated as zero. Structural N/A is excluded. Property availability is not scored.
