Quantifying the effects of smoking on life expectancy and the benefits of quitting is crucial for motivating smokers to stop. While past studies have assessed these impacts, many were over a decade old and often overlooked smokers aged 65 and older. A new study published by Elsevier is the first to measure the impact of quitting for individuals over 65, revealing that even quitting at age 75 can significantly enhance life expectancy.
