雙語閱讀：那些離死神越來越近的壞習慣

摘要：你可能會想只吸一根菸不會危害身體。但實際上根據最新測算，對吸菸者而言吸一根菸可能要減少14分鐘的壽命。有一個網站已經測算出一名抽菸，喝酒或吸毒的人會因每次的壞習慣少活多長時間。

You 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.

How much time does a lifelong addict loose each time they use?

Cigarettes Cocaine Alcohol Meth Methdone Heroin

13.8 minutes 5.1 hours 6.6 hours 11.1 hours 12.6 hours 22.8 hours

The total time lost for each individual use is heavily dependent on how many times the average daily dose is segmented. For example, the daily dose of cocaine is segmented by 6.6 (lines) , while the daily dose of alcohol is segmented by 2.14 (drinks).

你可能會想只吸一根菸不會危害身體。但實際上根據最新測算，對吸菸者而言吸一根菸可能要減少14分鐘的壽命。有一個網站已經測算出一名抽菸，喝酒或吸毒的人會因每次的壞習慣少活多長時間。例如，該網站宣稱如果通常每天吸20根菸，會減壽十年。酒鬼則會減少23的壽命，而慢性可卡因食用者最多竟少活34年，該網站補充道。

終身吸菸者每次吸菸要消耗多長壽命?

那些離死神越來越近的壞習慣

每人消耗的壽命很大程度要看平均每天的吸食次數。例如，每天吸食可卡因6.6(條)，或每日酒精攝入量爲2.14(杯)。

How the numbers were calculated

Average Lifetime - Average age of death = Number of years lost

Number of years lost × 365.242 × 24 = Number of hours lost

Average use per day × Number of days using = Lifetime number of doses

Number of hours lost / Lifetime number of doses = Time lost per dose in hours

Number of days using = Average of death -Average age of first regular use × 365.242

平均壽命-平均死亡年齡=減少的壽命

減少的壽命年數 × 365.242 × 24 = 減少的小時數

平均每天攝入量 × 食用天數 = 一生攝入總量

減少的小時數量 / 一生攝入總量 = 每次攝入後減少的壽命

攝入天數 = 平均死亡年齡 - 首次常規攝入者的平均年齡 × 365.242

, 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. The website's creators have also worked out how many minutes or hours each single dose will cost an addict.

一個網址爲的網站是一家向沉迷於毒品和酒精的人提供信息的網站。該網站已經測算了沉迷於香菸、酒精、可卡因、甲基苯丙胺、美沙酮或海洛因的人在持續吸食的情況下會減少多少壽命。吸食甲基苯丙胺的人平均壽命僅爲38歲。該網站創始人已經算出各類癮君子每次會消耗多少分鐘或小時的壽命。

One line of cocaine takes a chronic user five minutes closer to death, while a single methadone pill costs a user almost 13 hours. is a ‘resource for people looking for help and support in regards to drug and alcohol addiction’, its developers said. All the data came from official sources including the U.S Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. Jake Tri, project manager for the website said it was formed after the developers heard comments about how much time smoking a cigarette costs a person, and wanted to find out the exact figure.

每條可卡因可使慢性攝入者少活5分鐘，而每片甲基苯丙胺則使其食用者少活13個小時。“該網站是人們尋求幫助的一大資源並得到了吸食毒品和嗜酒人員的支持，”該網站的開發人員說道。網站上的全部數據是官方信息，包括美國疾病防控中心、物質濫用和精神健康服務管理局、國家公路交通安全管理局。該網站項目經理傑克•特里說當開發人員聽到人們對吸一根菸可消耗多少壽命的看法後，他們建立了這一網站並想找到與此相關的其他數據。

How much time does a lifelong addict lose when using the average daily dose?

Cigarette: 12 hours= 4.6 hours

Alcohol: 12 hours 12 hours = 14.1 hours

Cocaine: 24 hours 12 hours = 33.7 hours

Methdone: 24 hours 24 hours 12 hours = 50.4 hours

Methamphetamine: 24 hours 24 hours 12 hours = 58.8 hours

Heroin: 24 hours 24 hours 12 hours 12 hours = 68.4 hours

These estimates are for chronic users where negative effects would be cumulative over time.

平均日攝入量會使終身癮君子少活多長時間?

香菸：4.6小時 酒精：14.1小時 可卡因：33.7小時 美沙酮：50.4小時 甲基苯丙胺：58.8小時

海洛因：68.4小時

這些數據主要針對長期服用人員，其消極影響是長期積累下來的。

He told MailOnline: 'The initial inspiration for this project was from hearing a statement many of us have come across in passing... Something like "Smoking one cigarette takes away 10 minutes of your life". 'We then wondered about other drugs and applied the same methodology using statistics from several reputable sources. They checked their methodology against statistics from the University of Bristol, and found they were very close, with differences attributed to the fact they were using U.S. government sources rather than U.K. statistics.

他對每日郵報說：“開始做這一項目的動機是偶然碰見了一些人聽到了他們的觀點...像是‘每吸一根菸要少活10分鐘，’聽了這樣的話我們好奇其他藥品情況如何，於是就用了同樣的方法從幾個不同的權威機構獲取數據。”通過與布裏斯托爾大學的數據做對比他們發現他們的測算結果與其十分接近，而存在差異是因爲他們的數據來自美國政府而非英國政府。

He added that the methodology gives an estimated number rather than a definite number. He said: 'There are far too many factors to give a 100% accurate assessment of how much time one loses after smoking a single cigarette or taking a single drink. 'However this methodology does provide a good estimate for those that are chronic users of a certain substance, as it is based on average usage and life expectancy data.'

他還補充說這種方法只是一種估算，不能給出絕對準確的數字。他說：“雖然有很多因素能幫助我們得出百分百正確的數據，以反映在吸完一根菸或喝完一杯酒後的壽命折損情況，但對那些長期服用一種物質的人來說這種測算方法更加合理，因爲它是基於平均用量和平均壽命來定的。

Chronic user of cigarettes
