Oh my God,are you telling me that smoking is BAD for me? Who knew?

And here I got up this morning feeling great,no health problems,and just turned 73.

Thank heaven's for smart folks like you that tell us all that we are doing wrong---I'll have to pass the info along to all the other senior citizen smokers.

Because of your genetic profile the wear and tear theory doesn't apply to you...and I am happy for you. But...most people are not like you and smoking does harm them.

Ever visit a Veteran's Hospital and check in the cancer ward? I have.

Here is one more source about the tobacco and cancer link, but it probably doesn't apply to you again because of your genetic profile...
