Actually, smokers are found to have less incidents of stress related diseases. They tend to be more easy going and less apt to be stressed. Smoking a cig is relaxing and enjoyable, so these stress related diseases are less likely to hit a smoker.

In addition, as the rate of smoking has decreased the rate of children with asthma and alergies has increased. This would suggest that the lack of exposure to ETS, hasn't allowed the lungs to strengthen themselves and learn to "fight" impurities in the air. It would be similar to giving vaccinations, inject a small amount of the disease to allow your body to build a tolerance.

It must be regulated that all parents smoke a cig a day in front of their kids, that way they will be less likely to develop allergies. It is for the chilrun don't ya know!
