Question 1

How many minutes does one cigarette take off your life?

Accepted Answer

About 17 minutes on average for men and 22 for women, according to a 2024 University College London analysis. It is a population average, not a prediction about any one person.

Question 2

How much money does smoking a pack a day cost in a year?

Accepted Answer

It depends on where you live. At a pack price of about 8 US dollars that is roughly 2,900 dollars a year; in Australia it is several times that. Time Left works it out in your own currency using real local pack prices.

Question 3

What happens to your body after you quit smoking?

Accepted Answer

The World Health Organization timeline starts within 20 minutes, when heart rate and blood pressure drop. Carbon monoxide in the blood returns to normal within 12 hours, circulation and lung function improve over weeks to months, and after 10 years the risk of lung cancer is about half that of someone who kept smoking. Existing scarring does not reverse, but the damage stops adding up.

Question 4

Is Time Left free, and does it store my data?

Accepted Answer

It is free with no sign-up. Everything you enter stays in your own browser using local storage. There is no server and no account, so nothing you type is sent anywhere.
