Dr KK Aggarwal: Men statistically have a higher chance of dying earlier than women, and this risk is significantly compounded by smoking. Smoking alone is a major contributor to premature mortality, but when combined with other lifestyle factors such as poor diet, lack of physical activity, and increased stress levels, it can dramatically shorten life expectancy. It is therefore essential that men pay close attention to preventive healthcare measures, adopt healthier habits, go for regular health screenings, and avoid harmful behaviors like smoking to reduce the risk of early death and improve overall well-being.
