One cigar can be made from 7 bits. If there are 16 cigars then how many bits collected ?

The answer by puzzle masters is 4 and not 16*7=112. Type the question in any search engine and you will get the source and answer 4 too. But what I want is explanation for it.

The question is assuming that the bit is what is left after smoking. So 16 cigars are smoked so you have 16 bits left. You take 14 bits to make 2 cigars and have 2 bits left over. you smoke the final 2 cigars and now you have the two bits from them plus the other two left over bits for a total of 4
