Is it true that each cigarette takes 5 minutes off your life?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No, worse!: Each cigarette takes 11 minutes from your life ! this is a mathematical average and is based on the fact that the average smoker loses 6.5 years of life compared to a non smoker. It uses the number of lifetime smoked cigarettes as a total of 311, 688 which seems a bit sickening, no? You can see the calculation at: http://www.Ncbi.Nlm.Nih.Gov/pmc/articles/pmc1117323/.
