It all depends on how soon you start smoking and how old you are when you quit.

I know this much,my sis started smoking at 17 and died from lung cancer at 62.I reccomend not starting smoking.That way you won’t have to quit.

It’s never a bad idea to quit smoking regardless of age.But there is a “point of no return” regarding certain lung diseases.If you quit before you reach it you’ll be OK,if you don’t...expect trouble down the road.

Just TRY to make me quit.....you’ll be dead long before I will be.

When George Burns was in his 90's he had a great joke he'd tell.He'd puff on his cigar and say "three doctors have told me to quit smoking.Two are dead and the other one isn't feeling too well".

I remember that and George lived to be 100.
