7 minutes per puff? Who says that?
It's a very rough approximation which was used in anti-smoking campaigns, at least in the 90s/00s.
A lot of that was exaggerated. 7 minutes per puff really doesn't sound realistic. But since it convinced people to stop smoking I guess everyone agreed that some misinformation was OK?
I really don't have a clue, but calculating averages might yield results which don't represent a directly applicable value. If some people lose tens of years due to dramatic complications, it could weigh up a lot for people who barely lose any life length.
Again, I'm just guessing wildly, but anything which scares people away from smoking is good in my opinion.
That's where I disagree, spreading misinformation as scientific fact causes people to lose trust in health authorities, and it fuels things like the anti-vax movement and flat earthers. The ends don't justify the means.
Yeah, that's a good point.
