| Smoking before 35 does not reduce lifetime
Quit smoking practically art any age, person is able to live a long as if he would not smoke at all. Scientists came to this conclusion.
Recently one of the most long term studies of smoking hazard has been finished recently. During 50 years scientists have been watching the lives of smokers, non smokers and those, who have quitted smoking. The main point of one conclusion is in the following, person can give up smoking at any age. British medical magazine says that about 35 thousand of physicians from Britain took part in this study. These men were born between 1900 and 1930. In 1951 they gave the first information about smoking habit, regime, diet, doing sports and alcohol consumption.
Every some years the poll has been repeated. It turned out that nonsmokers lived 10 years more than their colleagues who smoked. But everybody was surprised when it was found out that those who quitted smoking 30 years ago, lived as much as nonsmokers.
Those who gave up smoking 40 years ago lived only 1 year less. In other words, if you quit smoking at the age of 35, it will be better for your organism.
