Non-smokers are used to live a healthier lifestyle than those
who smoke. Doctors have always linked the habit of smoking to
several problems that might take place therefore, hence
threatening the life of smokers. No matter what the reason is
for the person to start smoking, the result comes down to just
one fact, functional disabilities and a short life span. It has
been seen that the life of a person decreases by 14 minutes with
the smoking of a cigarette. Pertaining to this study by the
scientists, we can deduce the number of years we are going to
cut short by smoking heavily. It is worthwhile to reduce or
entirely stop smoking to lead a long life. Studies are conducted
to show proofs how a smoker can live a lesser life compared to a
non-smoker person. Richard Doll with his group had reached 50
years of study finding out the lifespan with a non-smoker and a
smoker. His study concluded that a life span of smoker is almost
10 years shorter in comparison to that of a non-smoker. While
