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.
