One cigarette could cost a smoker almost 14 minutes of their life.

A new website, Treatment4addiction.com, has worked out how much time a smoker, alcoholic or a drug addict will lose, each time they smoke, drink or use a drug.

The site found that regularly smoking 20 cigarettes a day cuts ten years off a person's life, while alcoholics cut their lives short by 23 years.

Chronic cocaine users lose 34 years, with one line of the drug taking you 5 minutes closer to death.

Meth and heroin addicts live to an average age of just 38 years old, while a single methadone pill costs a user almost 13 hours.
