Teen Smoking, Despite Quitting, Linked to Shorter Lifespans

Well, this is bad news for those of us who used to be smokers.  A new study has found that even among people who quit smoking by the time they were in middle age, their lifespans were shorter.  The study also found, however, that among the individuals who did give up the habit - it was beneficial.  Take away point: it's never to late to quit but it's better not to take it up in the first place.
