Frequently Asked Questions

Is "11 minutes per cigarette" real?
Yes — Mons & Brenner 2017 meta-analysis (UK 2024 update): each cigarette ~11 minutes off life expectancy. Pack/day smokers lose ~10 years on average vs never-smokers (CDC 2024). The number compounds — every cigarette is a small but real time cost.
What about quitting? Does that reverse it?
Largely yes. Quit before 35: ~90% of risk reversed within 10 years (Doll et al. 2004 follow-up). Quit at 50: ~50% reversed. Quit at 65: still adds 4-5 years vs continuing. The body has remarkable recovery capacity. The earlier the quit, the more years recovered.
Vaping — same risks?
Mostly different. Vaping has fewer cancer-causing chemicals than combustion smoking (NHS 2024: ~95% lower) but is NOT "safe". Long-term effects (cardiovascular, lung) still emerging in 2024 research. Best evidence: vaping helps smokers quit, but starting vaping fresh (especially Gen Z) is not low-risk.
What's the strongest argument to quit?
Most compelling: at 1 pack/day for 30 years, you spend €60K-€90K + lose ~10 life-years = effectively pay the price of a house TO shorten your life. Plus quitting at any age has measurable benefits within 1 year. The compound math doesn't survive contact with reality.
