Smoking significantly influences an individual's longevity as a key lifestyle factor. Numerous scientific studies consistently indicate that smoking shortens life expectancy. While cigar or pipe smoking also impacts lifespan, its effect is generally less severe compared to cigarette smoking. Here are some supporting evidences:
In a USA study it was found that heavy smokers have lower life expectancies than persons with all other smoking statuses; indeed, compared to never smokers, heavy smokers at age 25 can expect at least a 25% shorter life (18✔✔Trusted Source Life expectancies of cigarette smokers and nonsmokers in the United States
