 It would be either "He is a two-pack-a-day smoker" or "He is a two-pack-per-day smoker.
 
 If doc dictates "a" use that; if "per" go with that.  That's what I do anyway.  It makes life simpler that way. :)

 pack years
 Subject: pack years
 
 Personally, I would not hyphenate that he smoked for 120 packs years as you state it, as there is no adjective describing a noun.  On the other hand, I would hyphenate if he has a 120-pack-year history of smoking, because that is a triple adjective describing a noun.

 A "5-pack-year" history does not mean "5 packs per year" ... good grief, I'd consider someone who smoked 5 packs per year essentially a nonsmoker.  :-)
 
 A 5-pack-year history means an average of a pack a day over a 5-year period. That could mean someone smoked 5 packs per day for 1 year, or 1 pack per day for 5 years, or half a pack a day for 10 years, or any other combination that fits.

  I know this has been asked 100 times, but i would like some clarification advise from anyone willing to give it!!  Medrol Dosepak is a brand name and should be typed as such; however, i see so many times MTs typing Dosepak on things like prednisone and Sterapred.  I cannot verify that anything other than Medrol should be Dosepak but is there some sort of unwritten rule i missed???  Help!!  Any and all advise is appreciated. pack year history of smoking
