Explanation:

Step1: Calculate weekly cost

$\$5.95 \times 7 = \$41.65$

Step2: Verify 30-day month cost

$\$5.95 \times 30 = \$178.50$

Step3: Verify annual cost

$\$5.95 \times 365 = \$2171.75$

Step4: Calculate total lifetime smoking cost

First find smoking years: $50 - 14 = 36$ years
$\$2171.75 \times 36 = \$78183.00$

Step5: Calculate 60-year non-smoker savings

$\$2171.75 \times 60 = \$130305.00$

Step6: List 5 purchasable items

(Examples: A used car, a home down payment, a family vacation, a new kitchen appliance set, a college tuition fund portion)

Step7: Calculate life span reduction

First find total cigarettes: $20 \times 365 \times 35 = 255500$ cigarettes
Total minutes lost: $255500 \times 8 = 2044000$ minutes
Convert to years: $\frac{2044000}{525949} \approx 4$ years
