According to the Wall Street Journal, Philip Morris alone (actually Philip Morris USA, which I assume is only its American operation) made 187,000,000,000 cigarettes last year. 22% of American adults smoke.
I did a little calculating. Assuming 22% of adults equal about 50,000,000 people, that means that the average smoker smokes about 13 cigarettes a day. That is probably about right, then.
The number just seems so big.
