How many of you grew up breathing in cigarette smoke and are still alive????!!!

I am! My children are and are VERY healthy! An 84 year old family friend is not only alive, but is one of the healthiest people I have ever met and takes no medication. Most individuals alive today, over the age of 10-15, grew up around cigarette smoke.

Meanwhile, a 44 y/o relative died of lung cancer. She lived in a smoke-free home her entire life and her workplace was non-smoking.

Another relative is dead at 53. She never smoked, drank or whored (her words) around. She is dead, however.

It's the craziest thing.  From what the anti's are spewing on the media and everywhere that smoking and second hand smoke is such a killer, when I, too, had a much different outlook to my growing up.

My one grandmother died at 42, full of cancer.  She never smoked.  I never knew her.

My grandfathers both smoked, and lived well into their 70's.

My other grandmother smoked 3 packs of unfiltered Camels a  day and lived to be 86.  So, from my experiences against what the anti's are spewing today, I just can't compute.

And you look at the obituary's every day..............the people dying are OLD.
