    January 5 2025-The Alarming Impact of Smoking on Life Expectancy & New Year's Resolutions If your New Year’s Resolution is to quit smoking, researchers say it will extend your life expectancy. A new study in the UK quantifies the harm of cigarette smoking and finds it shortens life expectancy at nearly double previous estimates.

We reached Lion Shahab, considered a top researcher in the world when it comes to smoking. He’s professor of Health Psychology at University College London in the UK where the study was done by his colleagues. And Many of us are ringing in 2025 with New Year’s resolutions despite a new movement called ‘Ditch New Year’s Resolution Day’ on January 17th. New research finds the older we get, the less we’re interested in setting resolutions. We reached author and time management coach Elizabeth Saunders for some tips on creating successful goals heading into 2025.
