It is generally accepted that a single cigarette reduces ones life between 7 and 11 minutes. I would like to know the reduction in life for one ULH flight. We know the radiation dose at FL350 is 0.003 millisievirts per hour. There are other health hazards in addition to radiation for long duty periods.
Of the 20 hours flight time, how much of that is spent in the crew bunk?
