How long can a smoker live?
AnswerThere are many factors to consider when talking about life expectancy. There is no way of predicting how long any particular smoker is going to live.On average, smokers have a decrease of 8.3 years in their life expectancy when compared to non-smokers. However, one must consider the socioeconomic differences (i.e., income levels, lifestyle, daily stressors, access to health care, etc.) between smokers and nonsmokers, which can perhaps account for much of the statistical variance between the two groups.If you're asking for specific statistical data, that also varies widely both from country to country and at the state/provincial/regional/city/neighbourhood level as well, so it's difficult to give an exact figure without accounting for geographical differences or knowing what region in which you're interested.
