Smoking has never been more deadly
- Two thirds of deaths in current Australian smokers
attributable to smoking (much higher than international estimations of 50%)
- Current smokers cut at least 10 years off their lifespan
- Even among less heavy smokers (those smoking an
average of 10 cigarettes a day) the risk of death was more than doubled
- Stopping smoking before age 45 appears to eliminate
most of the risk associated with smoking.
