0 Quitting smoking before the age of 30 lower risk of death among women

Quitting smoking before the age of 30 years to make women avoid the risk of dying prematurely from tobacco, according to research in the UK.

Study published by the Lancet suggests that women who smoked all his life died 10 years earlier than women who do not smoke.

Women who quit smoking before 40 years died one year earlier. Meanwhile, women who quit smoking before 30 years died a month sooner.

The results obtained from studies of the first generation of smokers as many as 1.2 million women in the year 1950 to 1960.

"This study suggests that if women want to smoke like men, they too will die like men," said lead researcher Professor Sir Richard Peto, from Oxford University.

From these studies it is known that women who smoked about 10 cigarettes a day more will die sooner. It is similar to those experienced by men.

"More than half of women smokers who continue to smoke for life will be killed by tobacco," he added, as quoted by the BBC (26/10).

Peto said that quitting smoking can reduce the risk of death and always helpful. Smoking can cause death, and quitting smoking can counter this. The faster stop smoking, the better for your health too.
