[quote:Anonymous Coward 27829284:MV8yMDUzNjM4XzM0NTE5MjUwXzc1MEY2QzFC] The belief is "smoking is bad for you". I do not share that belief. I know for a fact that it helps immensely with my asthma. Studies show that smokers actually outlive non-smokers, not by much but by about 1-2 years. Studies also have shown that smoking may actually help protect your lungs from radiation damage. Also helpful in prevention of alzheimers, parkinsons, and as a treatment for schizophrenia. Compare the increase in alzheimers and parkinsons before and after the global anti-smoking campaign. What is probably "bad" is the chemicals that are hidden in commercial tobacco which to this day the manufacturer's will not reveal. I don't doubt many of those chemicals and insecticides and flavouring agents are very harmful indeed. Natural tobacco is not the same as the commercial chemical laden stuff. Too many 90 year old smokers in my family for me to ever believe the bullshit put out by the anti-smoking big pharma lobbyists. [/quote]

I am not going to show you the bad things about smoking or try to make you change your decision I just want to know why you would continue to smoke knowing what it can do to your lungs. It is suffering when lung cancer and all that other crap catches up with you.
LOOK: I am not against you or what you do everyone has free will in the world you can do what you want. I pluck hair off my legs and eat them. Yeah we are all weird but I want you to live a healthier life and don’t be so victimized by the government and big corporate companies making money off of you because you chose to slowly kill yourself from the inside out
Besides that I just want to know why you continue to smoke what is your reason for not quitting yet?
