I never understood smokers.. and wonder whats so great about it. It does nothing but destroy one's interior...not to mention heavy smokers look like horse ass.

If we know for sure that smoking causes cancer, which it does, why would you continue doing it... lying in a hospital bed 30 years from now with lung cancer ... over something that could easily have been prevented, doesnt sound like my cup of tea.
 


Haha wicked, Its not so much that smoking causes cancer! Hell you have cancer cells in your body right now, so does that mean your going to quit living?

The fact is that a lot of things cause cancer, and the trigger could be different for everyone. Hell you could drink a mountain dew a day for years and develop esophugal cancer, or get cancer pumping gas into your vehicle, does that mean your going to quit putting gas in your car? People live to be 100+ and smoked since they could walk and have no cancer. What about eating a reese cup and drinking a beer? That causes cancer!

Then again you could not do any of the above be some vegetarian, never enjoy the taste of a steak and get cancer due to a lack of iron and die from cancer or simply be just a fat ass and die of cancer.

So as far as saying that we know for a fact that smoking causes cancer, yeah we do,,, BUT if it is so bad how come everyone that smokes does not develop cancer? Hmm,, research must not be your cup of tea:)

But you are missing the point here... All of the things you mention are purely speculative. (i.e. drinking mountain dew, being a vegeterian, etc. etc.) Studies have shown that people who smoke have a far more serious chance of developing cancer of the lungs. Does that mean that everyone will get it? Of course not. But the chances are significantly higher, and this shouldn't be anything new to you. Even cigarette companies knew this prior to the public's awareness!
 
I see your case in point also,, is it the cigarettes in general or is it simply that certain peoples bodies can not tolerate carbon monoxide? I mean thats the same situation with anything. The FDA will approve certain items for consumption as long as the death rate or side effects are so low. The government knew that cigarettes were bad for people, they just wanted that tax check every month.

My fact was that smoking kills what 1 out of 10 people.. heart disease kills more than that. So due to the fact that everyone was born with cancer cells in their bodies and not one of us know what the actual triiger is to kick the cancer in gear, we cant stop doing whatever it is we enjoy.

I dont smoke, but for those that do I am sure they dont wonder every few minutes if they are going to get lung cancer in 50 yrs. They say what that if you smoke from the time your 18 til the time your 65 it takes 10 years off your life. At that age its probably the 10 years that you wouldnt want to live anyways. Ashes to Ashes ( or Diapers to Diapers ) either way:)

I really don't know the answer to this... but I do know that smoking contributes to a lot of other things too (like heart disease). Not to mention it slows your motabolism down.

My son, who is now fine, went through chemo.....it sucked! I think "hell" pretty much would define it for him.

My step-dad has bladder cancer-smoking is a risk factor. No matter how good looking the nurse is, catheters and cameras.....well it just doesn't feel good through THAT point of entry!

Do what you want, but be a grown up.....know your risks! If it's worth it...go forth and be happy!

Denial isn't attractive or mature!
