I smoked for 20 years and quit 20 years ago. So far, so good. My auntie just turned 78. Still smokes heavily each day...for 63 years now. Her sister (my mother) smoked for 30 years. Quit 25 years ago and is 84 now; going strong (touch wood)
My step father died of cancer...he smoked 2 packs a day for 45 years. Quit at 59 and died 20 years later. Only developed lung cancer in his final year and that was (probably) from working in a dusty flour mill for 20 years as a young man.
So you tell me. Smoking is NOT an automatic death sentence.
Don't smoke myself, but I have theorized that the nicotine in tobacco, which helps the tobacco plant fight off insects, may also be possibly helping the human body fight off some kind of parasite.
Supposedly 80 to 90% of all people have some kind of parasites in them, but almost all the time your immune system can keep them at bay.
I'm thinking this is why there could be a psychological positive response to smoking.
Just a theory right now.
P.S. Congratulations on quitting.
Keep you immune system in good shape by staying away from manmade chemicals, and try eating lots of organic veggitables, if possible.
Communist China's almighty "God" Mao can't be wrong, can he?
Keep smoking you Communist pieces of crap.
Smoking will only kill you if yr weak imho.
