A large-scale American study determined the best age at which to quit smoking to avoid the risk of death. It is necessary to do this before the age of 35.

A large study with the number of participants showed that if smokers give up their bad habit before the age of 35, then for a long time they have the same mortality rate as those who had never smoked.

However, those who quit smoking at a later age, although significant benefits were noted, had a higher mortality rate compared to those who gave up the bad habit before 35.

For example, if people quit smoking between the ages of 35 and 44, their death rate was 21% higher than that of people who had never smoked.

And among those who gave up smoking between the ages of 45 and 54, the all-cause mortality rate was 47% higher. Smoking clearly increased the risk of death in men and women of different racial and ethnic groups.

This is the third major study to show that 35 is the optimal age to quit smoking, especially for those who started. addicted to cigarettes at a young age. In general, the sooner a smoker quits, the better for his health.
