So that was one person. Multiply that by the millions of other people who smoked cigarettes over that period.

Even if just one million people had received 100 cards over three years of distribution, that's 100,000,000 cards. If only 5 percent survived today that accounts for 5,000,000 cards.
this seems like a reasonable estimate...but I'm guessing fewer that 5m survive today.
