The “safe age” for quitting smoking has been named

Smoking is associated with an increased risk of death. In a large new study, scientists have found that those

Those who quit a bad habit at a young age (namely before 35 years of age) can reduce this risk to a normal level, as if they had not smoked at all.

The study found that those who quitsmoking later in life still improved their health, but their mortality rates were higher than those of people who quit before age 35. For example, smokers who quit cigarettes between the ages of 35 and 44 had a 21% higher mortality rate (from any cause) compared to never smokers. And those who quit smoking between the ages of 45 and 54 had all-cause mortality 47% higher than those who had never smoked.

“Among men and women from variousAcross racial and ethnic groups, current smoking was associated with at least a twofold increase in all-cause mortality compared with never smokers, the study authors wrote in a new report published in JAMA. “Smoking cessation, especially at younger ages, is associated with a significant reduction in the relative excess mortality associated with continued smoking.”

This is the third major study to suggest that 35 is the optimal age to quit smoking, especially for those who start smoking at a young age.
