Anywhere from "millions of years or more" to "just until the next time they approach the Sun" (or hit something, like Comet Shoemaker Levy 9 did Jupiter in 1994). Some comets making their first approach to the Sun (presumably after a gravitational encounter in the outer solar system) come too close and are destroyed. Most familiar comets like Halley's Comet can be expected to "live" millions of years into the future as they have relatively stable orbits and do not come too close to the Sun.
