It's always a wise decision to give up a vice, at any age.
Researchers from the National Cancer Institute in the US have found that it's never too late to kick the habit, even in your 60s. In short, giving up smoking at any age can help prevent death.
The research was published in the American Journal of Preventive Medicine. It finds that older adults who quit smoking in their 60s had a lower chance of dying in the years that followed than contemporaries who kept smoking. The study suggests that giving up even as late as 69 years old could lower the risk of death for people in their 70s.
