Does each cigarette really take days off your life?

Question

I am not trying to advocate smoking by any means, but if that was true, wouldn't the population have been diminished by now?

Answer 1

Nope , each cigarette smoked takes 12-14 minutes of of ones life .

Regular smokers tend to live approximately 10 years less than non-smokers .

Answer 2

each ciggarette theoreticly takes 7 minutes off your life.

there is NO such thing as a healthy ciggarette, regardless of how many toxins it dos or doesnt have...

Answer 3

If that were true, my grandparents would be living anywhere between 120-150 years old. They are 87 and 83 and been smoking for over 60 years, and no signs of stopping either. Not little smoking either.
