I thought it was Viagra users that were twice as likely to go blind?

Yeah, yeah, when smoking is abolished all health ills will go away except for all that processed food and when those go away it will be those emissions again from cars and when those are banned they'll go after...
The cycle never ends. Personal responsibility never comes into it. I don't need the state looking after my personal habits.

...Yet only a tiny number of the UK's 13 million smokers are aware of the risk. ...
That's because they haven't gone blind, you lying a$$hole.

I've only been on the planet for 40 years, granted, but I still have never heard of or known anyone going blind from smoking.

Can I smoke to the point of just needing glasses?

Gee, like lung cancer isn't enough motivation? People fear blindness more than not being able to breathe? I've heard that lung cancer is the worst way to go. I've seen my f-i-l struggling with emphysema and can't imagine how much worse it can get.

Especially if you drink heavily. May stick one of those things in your eye.
