[36] This decreased life expectancy for male smokers mirrors the gender differences in life expectancy overall.

The Washington Post noted in November 2018 that overall life expectancy in the United States was declining although in 2018 life expectancy had a slight increase of 0.1 and bringing it to ...
In 2000, data published in The BMJ estimated one cigarette would cost a person 11 minutes of their life.
Most of the declines in the different sex or age groups occurred after 1991. At the same time, smokers in 2001 had a higher proportion of smoking 1 to 10 cigarettes daily compared with 1985 (18.6% to 31.1%). Most of the decline occurred after 1991. [26] As of 2008 the rate was estimated to be 18%, and declining. [27]
6.5 years = 2,374 days and 56,976 hours, or 3,418,560 minutes. 5,772 cigarettes per year for 54 years = 311,688 cigarettes. 3,418,560/311,688=11 minutes per cigarette.
In the United States, about 500,000 deaths per year are attributed to smoking-related diseases and a recent study [as of?] estimated that as much as one-third of China's male population will have significantly shortened lifespans due to smoking. [50] Male and female smokers lose an average of 13.2 and 14.5 years of life, respectively. [51]
