What’s amazing is that 75.8 is the life expectancy of men in the US and he managed to cross it with the lifestyle he had.

Life expectancy of men *at birth*. Once you've made it to ten years old, those statistics don't apply any more.

In other words, the average lifespan of a 10-year old boy is not 65.8 additional years.

  • Even then, you’d be surprised that his lifestyle didn’t impact his lifespan more negatively.

    But you’ll have chain smokers who live into their nineties.

  • So don't hold the suspense - how much is it then and how does it stack with rest of developed world?
