Study from United Kingdom finds that each cigarette smoked can reduce life expectancy by approximately 20 minutes.

The research, conducted by scientists at University College London, estimates the loss of life expectancy per cigarette to be 17 minutes for men and 22 for women. This equals an average of seven hours of life lost for every pack of cigarettes smoked. The study also found that people who smoked all their lives lost an average of 10 years compared to those who never smoked. Moreover, it was revealed that the earlier a person stops smoking, the greater the chances of reversing the amount of life lost. According to UK statistics, smoking causes 80,000 deaths yearly in the UK, one in four cancer deaths in England, and two-thirds of deaths in long-term smokers. What alarming news. In Divine wisdom, may smoking be banned worldwide for the benefit of our health and wellbeing.
