Each cigarette smoked shortens life by 11 minutes
According to a study published by The British Medical Journal, each cigarette smoke reduces the life of 11 minutes. Researchers at Bristol University have achieved this by taking into account in their calculations on the one hand the differences in life expectancy of male smokers and nonsmokers, on the other hand the latest demographic data on males English and Scottish. They report having found a difference of 6.5 years in life expectancy between smokers and nonsmokers. Knowing that the annual average number of cigarettes consumed is estimated at 5772 (slightly less than one pack per day), the authors calculated that if a man smokes from 17 years until his death at age 71 years, it will consume a total of 311,688 cigarettes in their lifetime. A simple calculation is used to determine that each cigarette helps to shorten the lives of 11 minutes!
