What a load of utter bollocks. By that definition my grandad would’ve been scheduled to die at an age of 750 if he’d quit the smokes early in life.

So… what if you smoke while in hospice? Is that like a speed run?

Papers I’ve read say that lots of smoking damage can be recovered (slowly, over years/decades); Does this apply to this study? One cigarette in high school has the same impact of the 15,103 cigarette of a career smoker?

Paraphrasing Vonnegut: smoking is the only gentlemanly way to commit suicide left.
