nr_wh	Yes, we are all going to croak. There are certain factors that increase the probability that you will live longer and have better quality of life, and one of them is to avoid/stop smoking. No guarantees - we could croak tomorrow - we can increase the chances of living longer by not smoking. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Veronica Alicia	It's your choice and your decision. Why ask YA? My husband smokes a pipe occasionally (never in the house) and I was brought up in a home where everyone smoked. I tried it and waved a cigarette around for effect, then gave it up for my love of chocolate. Pros for smoking - you enjoy it, you are less likely to turn to nibbles for comfort so will keep your weight down, a companionable thing to do with friends who smoke. Cons - it is a very expensive habit with nothing really tangible to show for your money, except Your clothes will smell dreadful/laundry bills higher Your hair and skin will reek like an old ash tray The opposite sex may find you a turn-off - non-smokers don't much like kissing a smoker! You will be more prone to chest infections = bronchitis = emphysema = oesophagul cancer, cancer of the bronchus and lung cancer. You are likely to develop heart disease, circulatory problems (risk of amputations) and strokes. Smoking has been linked to several other unpleasant diseases. OK, so we are all going to die, but it is S**d's Law that it will happen just when you realise that you have everything to live for. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

NSangel	Yes you are going to die anyway. but who knows when. there are tons of good reasons to give up smoking (besides lengthening your lifepspan). i can't think of any good reason to continue smoking. so if your serious about quitting. go for it :) Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

worldtraveler	You're right. We will all die. However, would you rather die hiking up a mountain or chained to an oxygen mask in a hospice? Our bodies will give us much pleasure on earth -- if we take care of them the best we can. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

cally l	Well is you question a off the cuff remark or do you have some thing wrong???? I have Emphasema,I wasnt going to give up smoking either after 45 years. I recently had a nasty chest infection that had my heart rate way up and over the top not to mention pulse as well. At one stage they were going to put me out to have me a a respirator to give my body a rest as I had been struggling to breath for 3 days using my Asthma meds lol well a week of Hospital on oxygen changed my mind I gave up cold turkey just seeing my familys faces was plenty enough so think about it I know how hard it is and yup I do sneak one very late at night "the only one I have now" Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Boon Q	If you enjoy smoking like I do, then continue smoking. We are all going to die anyway like you said so why want to live longer and suffer? Live one day at a time and enjoy life to the fullest. This my personal view. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

*Sparki*	Yes you will die one day but why shorten your life? Also think of those around you who would not want to see you suffer from a horrible or painful disease - and think of yourself possibly going through that suffering! Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Bonnie C	You'll live a little longer and feel better. Have you ever seen those little clear disposable filters??? My mom used them for a while...after two cigarettes, you should see all the cruddy tar that's in one of those....yccccch!!!!!--the thought that you're sucking that into your lungs!!!!!! Check it out, you may quit then. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

my brain hurts	So long as you don't smoke around other people, especially children, knock yourself out! I think you could do so much more with the money you could save from not smoking, but of course it's your decision. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

x.Paige.x	but if you stop smoking you'll live longer x Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

gerrifriend	It's not just the risk of dying that is a problem with smoking though is it. What about the increase chances of spending years on a nebulisor because you can't breath properly, or losing limbs because of the break down in your circulation, or being disabled from a stroke. Smokers put more money into the national health service through tax on cigarettes than they cost through treatment so as far as I'm concerned you can smoke to your heart's content. I doubt we'll ever meet so you won't be poluting my atmosphere, but from your point of view it seems a pretty stupid idea. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Ask your partner or girlfreind to help you. One step at a time :) Good luck. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Shaun the Sheep	You'll need to buy a little trolley to transport your oxygen supply around with you then. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

109	As someone who quit smoking 20 years ago. I can tell you without a doub't. Smoking not only shortens your life, but it steals from the quality of it as well. When I campare my health and well being to people my age that still smoke, it my friend is like night and day. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

\|\|\|ALL TRUE\|\|\|	Yep, but either peacefully in bed of old age after a full rich life perhaps. OR Middle aged with an oxygen mask strapped to your weak air gasping face and regularly coughing up the little of what is left of your black rotting lungs. The smart suits of the cigarette company not even sending you so much as a $1 thank you card for the many thousands of dollars you gave them and yet still to your painful dying face they deny that cigarettes are addictive and that you chose to die their way. Not so much as a feeling of regret other than they can't bleed you any further soon. When I came to that realization when I did research on the tobacco industry it help enormously for me to kick the habit almost right there and then. The tobacco chiefs are vultures I vowed they would never see another penny from my pocket. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Chuck T	We are all going to die but while you are alive breathing sure comes in handy :)) Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Nigel	Being negative like that never does anyone any good. Stopping smoking has to be a good thing, even if you have been smoking for years. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

boilerrat	I watched my Mom and my father in law die ferom lung cancer-- trust me, you aren't tough enough to go through it !! Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

jed slade	You please yourself,so long as you accept that others can do the same.If you dont interfere with the comfort of others you are entitled to die how you like.If you stop smoking your teeth will improve in condition,your stomach condition will improve,you will have more breath for sport,your sense of taste will recover,you will not have as much throat and chest trouble,you will not smell as bad ,your breath will be cleaner etc etc etc.You are right about hearing the horseman, s approaching hooves,sooner rather than later eh? Your choice always,but remember,death is very personal. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No
