Life expectancy for U.S. women varies drastically by state, research reveals
Where you live in the United States can still strongly determine how long you live, according to a comprehensive study by researchers at Yale. Despite remarkable medical and technological advances over the last century, several U.S. states, particularly in the South, have seen almost no progress in life expectancy—especially among women.

Smoking Shortens Life by 17 Minutes for Men and 22 Minutes for Women, UCL Study Finds
