Maybe death for some, I have been smoking for over 1/2 century and am doing fine..I think genetics has a big role in developing cancer...for my family, cancers of the GI track are common in relatives and my father, his brother and his father....Dad smoked until he turned 50 and developed asthma...but lived to be 86 and never developed lung cancer. But had colon cancer, that didn't kill him either, the blood work before surgery was hinky and they finally got a diagnosis of acute Leukemia and that prognosis was 10 days to 6 weeks. No chemo, at his age would probably kill him. He came to my home and died 10 days from diagnosis...7 days at my home before he passed...My sister is 80 and has been smoking since she was 15. Not even a breathing problem.....I don't believe all the propoganda about cigarettes...Back in the 40's they were called cancer sticks and coffin nails, any of those that sued cause the companies lied is just hearing ch ching to deep pockets...
If they are suicide machines, it sure takes a long time to kill you according to my family...
60 year smoker here,goat granny.
I certainly don’t plan on quitting now.
