That's how many cigarette packs artist Chris Jordan used to make his latest work, "Skull with Cigarette."It's also equal to the number of Americans who die from cigarette smoking every 6 months.

This piece is part of Jordan's photographic series entitled Running the Numbers: an American Self-Portrait visually examines the vast and bizarre measures of our society, in large intricately detailed prints assembled from thousands of smaller photographs.
