U of M Study Looks At Smoking And Mental Illness

A new study from the University of Michigan suggests that smoking greatly reduces life expectancy for people with serious mental illness.

Researchers say those smokers cut 15 years off their lives, compared to people who have never smoked and don’t have mental illness.

They also die ten years earlier than those with serious mental illness who have never smoked.

Details are in the American Journal of Preventive Medicine.
