How Smoking Reduces Life Expectancy
Medical studies suggest that on average, smoking a single cigarette can reduce life expectancy by approximately 11 minutes. Chronic smoking accelerates lung damage, heart disease, and aging.
Why Every Cigarette Counts
The damage from smoking is cumulative. The longer you smoke and the more cigarettes you consume daily, the higher your risk of irreversible health issues.
Q: Can I reverse the damage if I quit?
Yes! The body begins to repair itself within hours of quitting. Lung function improves within months, and heart disease risk drops significantly after 1 year.
Q: What tests should smokers take?
Regular Lung Function Tests (Spirometry), Chest X-Rays, and Lipid Profiles are recommended. You can book these easily on the Sompurno App.
