For instance, a decrease in lifetime expectancy is greater for female smokers compared to male smokers. On average, while an adult male loses 13.2 years due to smoking, an adult female smoker loses 14.5 years of life. [36] This decreased life expectancy for male smokers mirrors the gender differences in life expectancy overall.
The difference in life expectancy between men and women in the United States dropped from 7.8 years in 1979 to 5.3 years in 2005, with women expected to live to age 80.1 in 2005. [88] Data from the United Kingdom shows the gap in life expectancy between men and women decreasing in later life.
Sex gap in life expectancy and healthy life expectancy [1]. The male-female health survival paradox, also known as the morbidity-mortality paradox or gender paradox, is the phenomenon in which female humans experience more medical conditions and disability during their lives, but live longer than males.
In 2000, data published in The BMJ estimated one cigarette would cost a person 11 minutes of their life.
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.

From 2007 to 2017, life expectancy increased by 2.7 years for men, but only by 1.6 year for women. This can be explained, for example, by different "smoking careers" for men and women. [26] As an impact of Covid 19 the life expectancy for women fell from 84,9 years in 2020 to 84,7 years in 2021. The following year, the life expectancy for men ...
