Death Clock / Life Span Clock


The Death Clock / Life Span Clock gives you the approximate year of your demise. Figure out how many more precious seconds you have left to live!
The 'Death Clock Calculator' evaluates a range of health and lifestyle variables, including one's outlook on life (whether pessimistic, sadistic, or normal) and smoking status.
Research findings in the gene expression analyses of the biological clock indicate that it could be a powerful method for estimation of time of death of a person(1 Trusted Source

). Biological rhythms could also be potential tools to draw conclusions on the death circumstances and the identity of a deceased person(2 Trusted Source

).
While no tool can predict the future with absolute certainty, the purpose of our Death Clock is to help you not only have a fascinating glimpse into the potential length of your life, but also more importantly encourage you to make healthier lifestyle choices.

Friendly reminder that life is slipping away....

"Life is tragic, simply because the earth turns and the sun inexorably rises and sets, and one day, for each of us, the sun will go down for the last time. Perhaps the whole root of our trouble, the human trouble, is that we will sacrifice all the beauty of our lives, will imprison ourselves in totems, taboos, crosses, blood sacrifices, steeples, mosques, races, armies, flags, nations, in order to deny the fact of death, which is the only fact we have" ~ James Baldwin, 1962

Effect of Smoking on Lifespan

Smoking significantly influences an individual's longevity as a key lifestyle factor. Numerous scientific studies consistently indicate that smoking shortens life expectancy. While cigar or pipe smoking also impacts lifespan, its effect is generally less severe compared to cigarette smoking. Here are some supporting evidences:
  1. In a USA study it was found that heavy smokers have lower life expectancies than persons with all other smoking statuses; indeed, compared to never smokers, heavy smokers at age 25 can expect at least a 25% shorter life (17 Trusted Source

    ).
  2. In a UK study who stopped smoking at age of 60, 50, 40, or 30 years gained, respectively, about 3, 6, 9, or 10 years of life expectancy (18 Trusted Source
    Mortality in relation to smoking: 50 years' observations on male British doctors

    Go to source
    ).
  3. In a Netherlands study it was found that average cigarette smoking reduced the total life expectancy by 6.8 years, whereas heavy cigarette smoking reduced the total life expectancy by 8.8 years. The number of total life‐years lost due to cigar or pipe smoking was 4.7 years(19 Trusted Source

    ).
  4. In the same Netherlands study men who stopped smoking at age 40 gained 4.6 life‐years, compared with men who continued smoking at that age while the gained life‐years were 2.5–3.3 years among men who stopped smoking at age 50, 60 or 70 years(19 Trusted Source
