Comment on What does dying from all causes mean?

It means your life expectancy immediately increases. There are some things that, depending on your age, improving won’t improve life expectancy. ie, a 99 year old doing something that reduces their risk of colon cancer but nothing else will not reduce their chances of dying because something else will kill them first with 100% certainty.

Quitting smoking decreases risk of death for absolutely everyone in every circumstance
