Smoking can reduce life expectancy by 15 years

The New Zealand Medical Association (NZMA) warns that smokers may have to trade off their habit of harming their health with 15 years of life.

The NZMA study published on June 29 shows that people who are addicted to smoking for a long time and die from tobacco-related diseases have an average life expectancy of 15 years lower than normal people. .

NZMA President, Paul Ockelford commented: 'If you continue to smoke, you will lose the opportunity to raise your grandchild. People often work hard to have a long and rewarding retirement. Tobacco can take away your happiness and rest. '

According to Ockelford, the study also shows the heavy effects of cigarette smoke on smokers' families. Therefore, the best thing for you and your family is to quit smoking.
