    You bring up a good point, what does it actually mean? If eight people have their lives shortened by a decade, is that one life lost or eight?

      To make it more complicated does every decade matter the same? Does your twenty’s when you are out partying matter as much as your thirty/forties when you are most profitable for your capitalist overloads? What about your nineties when you are frail of health but hopefully surrounded by loved ones?
