I know smoking is not good for a person’s health. I’m a smoker and it’s so hard to quit.
My dad was a tri-athlete, healthy eater that never smoked a day in his life. He died at 77 of a glioblastoma seven years ago. He did everything right.
My mom smoked and just recently died at 80 of unrelated causes. I’m of the belief that we live until we die.
Pretty sure you're right. :)
Of course genetics dictates how long we live if an accident doesn't get us. The thing with smoking though is some people will keep on living but they get COPD and have to use oxygen all the time. That's a real pain in many ways and never being able to really catch their breath is a terrible feeling. The quality of life is all but gone for those who were used to being active.
I quit in 2001 for the last time. Quitting smoking for good was the most difficult thing I've ever done in my life. I truly wish cigs had never been invented. They make it too easy to get hooked and continue with the habit/addiction. My sister still smokes and she has more to live for but since I know how hard it is to quit; I don't ever say anything.
