The Benefits of Quitting Smoking at Different Ages

Proved: Quitting cigarette smoking will add years to your life

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.
