Smokers are liable to die young

[Angel_gabriel]

This is one of the greatest problem in our generation. People know the side effects of smoking but they still smoke. i think i am blessed to be a non smoker.

It is medically proven that smokers are liable to die young. Someone who is addicted to smoking will always find words to defend his pride to quit smoking. I refused to argue more with any of my friends that refused to quit their smoking habits.

We are now in a terrible atmosphere where someone will take pleasure in things that are known to be harmful to his body without minding the health challenges it will bring to their health in the future. It's so pathetic that people have gone this far to be delusional in their reasoning

What is the exact criteria of "die young" ? What age is considered to be young ? 18 ? 40 ? What about famous people that are heavy smokers ? Like Joe Cocker for example. He had smoked 40-50 cigarettes per day, killed his liver with alcohol and lived till 70. Why do athletes smoke? Or doctors ? It is easy to say "oh he has died so young, because he smoked during his entire life". Then what about people who are 70-90 and still smoke? People just need to know their limits. If you smoke one cigarette after another then no wonder you die young. Same if you do sports 24/7, non stop, you wont live longer. A person can lay whole day in a bed, and have a shorter life than a person who smokes and drinks. It is all individual.

It is no definite rule that those who smoke will die earlier than who don't smoke,smoking is not at all related to death of anyone.  Yes health damage is true ,smoking will damage your respiratory system, your lungs will be damaged and you'll have lot of cough and breathing problems.  Smoking also effects your heart and soo many problems  but despite of everything the addiction is real.
You will never see a smoker admitting that he's doing something wrong or bad instead he'll stand by his habit and give you some good justification.

Smoking can cause various diseases. including lung cancer, stroke, blood vessel disorders, and so on. Of course it will result in death. Excessive smoking is very dangerous to health and life. so stop smoking and take care of yourself.

I quit Feb 29th 1996 so almost 27 years without a smoke 💨.

I quit pot Jan 27 1991 so almost 32 years without pot.

I quit gambling July 1990 so 32 years without betting.

All of the above will hurt you if you do too much.

I did too much

But I quit so I guess I am lucky.

Why did I quit all of the above I prefer my wife’s company over any of the above.

Choose to quit them to be able to stay with her longer.

Good write up mate, but then you should add a link as well, not stating the internet, the forum is against it okay ? Do so!
I have seen intelligent smokers anyways, but I haven't seen any that smoked cigarettes till their 80's and 90's.
There's nothing wrong with it, but all I advice is for people to smoke and eat vegetables for supplements.

Most people get cooled or calmed as a result of smoking one or two.
It does calms there nerves down.

A part of the joke is that smoking is very harmful to health and should be avoided.
But unfortunately, it has become the worst dilemma of the current ERA. People should understand that their health is more important than this bad habit.
Also, please avoid smoking in public as it may affect nonsmokers' health.

Yeah that's why I never said smokers have possibility to die young but yes smoking have its life damaging effects that no one can deny. The lung damage ,the smokers cough they are real and visible symptoms in all smokers.

People who are non smokers also die from damage of the lungs and other related diseases. Diseases sometimes come even when you have a clean lifestyle. I do not know why it is so. Children dying from lung cancers, are we to say they are smokers too? Will you will say they inhaled dangerous substance? Smoking is a lifestyle just like living in a skyscraper is. It does not mean everyone will fall off the building even if one jumps through the window and dies from it before your eyes, there will still be people who will not be scared of living there.

Truly speaking there are multitude of factors at work.i have seen smokers who lived a long life. I have seen non smokers die early. The truth is there is no single yardstick to measure all. Sometimes it's the general health and habits which play key role. Even tobacco contain 1000s of chemicals and some do have benifits as well..so it's really complicated science. But yes in general smoking is injurious to health.
