If luvox inhibits cyp1a2 and smoking, say 18 cigarettes a day, induces cyp1a2, what is the net effect on the enzyme? I'm used to drinking between 5 and 8 mugs (1-1/2 - 2 pots) of coffee every day and am just starting on luvox. Am I still okay to drink 2 or 3 mugs a day or should 1 be my maximum so long as I'm smoking the same amount? Confusing...

I don't know.
I would not attempt to develop theories in order to forecast clinical outcome. As long as you maintain your intake of caffeine and cigarettes at a constant level, you should be able to titrate fluvoxamine according to your response to it.
