At
any rate, I decided to do the math for my grandmother. I estimated the
number of cigarettes per days, estimated the number of puffs per
cigarette and so on. When I was satisfied that I'd come up with a
reasonable number, I poked my head into the front of the car, tapped
my grandmother on the shoulder, and proudly proclaimed, "At two
minutes per puff, you've taken nine years off your life!"
interesting that this quick estimate agrees with both (a) cursory
googling for current estimates of effect of smoking on life
expectancy, and (b) country song lyrics. I doubt Hank Jr was ever
published in the JAMA, but fwiw :
Well I think I'll play the jukebox and light up another cigarette.
They say for every puff of that loving smoke you get another minute
closer to death.
Well I smoke two or three packs a day and my arithmetic's not too sound
But I know I'm getting hours closer to that cold, cold ground.
