Cutting down on smoking could boost men’s life expectancy by a year: Study

Smoking—it’s a habit that affects nearly every organ in the body, leading to serious health issues like chronic bronchitis, heart disease, and lung cancer. A new study published in The Lancet Public Health journal offers hope. It found that cutting smoking rates to just five per cent by 2050 could increase life expectancy by a year for men and by 0.2 years for women.
