Even quitting smoking at the age of 60 or older could prolong your life.
According to the researchers, smoking is one of the 10 leading risk factors for death, and takes the lives of 12 percent of males and six percent of females of the world. If current rates continue, one billion deaths due to smoking are expected in the 21st century.
A new report shows that quitting smoking might make you live longer – regardless of how old you are. Even seniors lived longer if they were willing to part with their cigarettes.
