Smoking

[NotFuzzyWarm]

I'm 66 and have smoked since I was 15. Still in perfect health with zero problems.

Ask your doctor to take a picture of your lungs.

That's done 2x a year and they look near perfect. Lung capacity test always amazes the docs as as it's consistently equal to most healthy non-smokers. Point here is, genetics are most important when it comes to health and how much damage that lifestyle inflicts. Some folks seem almost immune to many things while others are susceptible to almost anything for any reason.

It seems to me that two times a year is even a lot.
It's not about ability, it's about the toxic tar that collects in your lungs.

No, is part of the bi-annual physicals I've been getting as long as I can remember. Tar and the damage it can cause shows up on x-rays and the docs often comment on usually seeing more clouding from the non-smokers with it due to poor air quality, working in dusty areas, etc. As I said before, I'm a Lucky one with apparently excellent genetics that do an excellent job of cleanup. On both sides of the family going several generations back folks have generally lived for 95-100 years. btw: many were lifelong smokers... Just sayin'

To be clear, I'm not saying that smoking is always harmless. For many folks it certainly can exacerbate pre or latent medical conditions while for others - zero to only very minor issues caused by it. A myriad of other things including ones general environment can also do it and smoking may/can amplify a persons sensitivity to those other factors. It is up to the individual to decide to roll the dice and smoke -- not others people/society.

No I don’t smoke & nor should you. I’m not going to be too hard on you if you’re under 30 but if not please stop smoking. Think about your future, your family & your health. Why put yourself in danger of major disease? Look after yourself buddy, please think about it.

I haven't smoked before, but in the last couple of years, my whole life is filled with daily stress. Already a few months, my partner and I have been taking one smoke break every day to distract and relax. It is definitely harmful to health, but sometimes you have to choose between mental and physical health.

I've been smoking for a long time, I can't quit, I don't like smoking, but I can't kick the habit.

Hmm...,this is so funny. Engaging in an act you don't really like. Then what enjoyment do you now receive in it. Well, I don't smoke but have a lot of friends that smoke.

[patofpath]

I used to smoke, but then I quit and the world is a much better place! Quit smoking!

'World health organization warns that smokers are liable to die young'. Is this a medically satisfied true warning?  If the correct answer to that question is a big time yes indeed! Then, smokers with sound minds will very much have to do a rethink on issues concerning smoking. And long health, cleanliness: both physical and spiritual, will have been waiting for repented smokers.

[naruto007]

[Phyllomania]

I would say I’m an occasional smoker - when I am with friends, which is I guess 3-4 times a month. But I am planning to quit this too.

[Artveek]

I only smoke cigars, the harm to health is minimal

Smoking come with the decision of humans,  and the change of environment somebody might be, like they are some village that if a child might leave and in a certain compound orh a environment that have people that smoke he/ she will smoke, I love when I always hear has the organization if health say that smoker  are liable to die young, but this really comes from a family when it an extended family, beside thus come to be a problem to the body when it affect the body and it comes to medical process, that can't be done.
But so many people feel it make different in term if action and way of emotions and feelings.

Smoking is disgusting and terribly harmful

[mich]

Was just speaking with a older neighbor friend of mine about smoking he must be at least 60. I believe that any kind of cigarette or vaping device that produces any kind of smoke is very harmful.
Many doctors recommend not smoking, even to the point where big tobacco companies put warning labels on any kind of smoking product. Back then smoking was popularized throughout films, radio, and television as a way to have people buy tobacco products.
My friend grew up in an atmosphere where back then it was ok or cool to smoke was not an issue until later studies revealed the harmful effects of smoking. My friend told me that the first time he try a cigarette was at the age of 14 years old when he was going to high school.
He also said that when he smokes it gives him a feeling of relief from stress that a doctor may not understand.
