A new website has calculated the cost of an addiction in years and hours
*.Smoking a pack of 20 cigarettes a day cuts ten years off a person's life
*.Drinking two or more alcoholic drinks every day cuts 23 years off a life
*.Cocaine addicts lose up to 34 years, with each dose costing 5.6 hours
*.Methadone users cut their lives by 38 years, and die at an average age of 41
*.A heroin addiction will cut 42 years off a person's life, killing them at age 38
*.Lifetime methamphetamine users lose 42 years, each dose costing 11 hoursYou might think that just one cigarette 'can't hurt'. But it could in fact cost a smoker almost 14 minutes of their life, according to new calculations.
A new website has worked out how much time a smoker, alcoholic or a drug addict will lose, each time they use.
For example, regularly smoking 20 cigarettes a day cuts ten years off a person's life, the website claims.
Alcoholics cut their lives short by 23 years, while chronic cocaine users lose 34 years, it adds. Treatment4addiction, a website providing information people with drug and alcohol addictions, has calculated how many years an addiction to cigarettes, alcohol, cocaine, methamphetamine, methadone and heroine are cutting from their lives by continued use.
Mephamphetamine addicts live to an average age of just 38, while heroin addicts don't fare much better, dying at on average at just 38 years old.One line of cocaine takes a chronic user five minutes closer to death, while a single methadone pill costs a user almost 13 hours.http://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/article-2788399/how-years-drinking-drug-smoking-habits-shaving-life-terrifying-graphic-reveals-one-cigarette-cuts-14-minutes-alcoholic-drink-cost-7-hours.html?ito=social-facebook
