New research reveals smoking reduces life expectancy by 20 minutes per cigarette

Credited from: SALON

  • A recent study from **University College London** asserts that each cigarette reduces life expectancy by **20 minutes**.
  • This translates to a loss of nearly **seven hours** in life expectancy from smoking a **pack of 20 cigarettes**.
  • The findings show that the life expectancy loss from smoking is greater than earlier predictions of **11 minutes per cigarette** made in 2000.
  • Quitting smoking early in life can restore life expectancy to levels comparable to those who have never smoked, although benefits diminish with age.
  • Despite declining smoking rates, it remains the leading cause of preventable disease in the U.S., with **28.8 million** adults reported as smokers in 2022.
