Notes Population and Life Expectancy

Life expectancy is the average number of years to be lived by a group of people born in the same year. So the life expectancy of my year 2004 is different than 2005 life expectancy. Drugs have change the life expectancy rate. At first people didn't know the health risk of drugs so they did it and the rate may have gone down. Then they started learning how bad it really is and what it can do to you. The rates went up because people stopped doing it. After that Juul came out and lots of people do it because it doesn't seem as bad as cigarettes and they see it as a good alternative. Some people don't know that its bad so people keep doing it and the life expectancy rate went down. Now teens are doing it because it looks cool and has candy flavors. So now the life expectancy rate has decreased even farther because some still smoke, adults Juul, and now teens are doing it.
