Smoked Since My 20's

Old fashioned? Maybe these days with using this bloody big contraptions called Vapes! God, they don't look elegant or stylish!

So, yes, cigarette smoker since then. Still enjoy it. Not planning on stopping anytime so please don't bore me with any stats or rhetoric.

Thank you!

You couldn't stop even if you wanted to. You are hopelessly addicted to it but deny it. It's your life and you do what you want with it, hopefully it all works out. My parents were chain smokers and my dad lived to 79 and never got cancer or anything but I do not think this is a common occurrence.

@JamesBugman Health industry tends to over-exaggerate the risks of things.
They like to scare people based on bad things that "could" happen if you do this or that.

Not much different than fitness products implying that if you use their product, you will develop the body of a 21 year old athlete or model.

According to the data,

Researchers at 'Action on Smoking and Health' have reported that a 30-year-old smoker can expect to live about 35 more years, whereas a 30-year-old non-smoker can expect to live 53 more years. In addition, the children of a parent or parents who smoke may be at risk from the genetic damage done to the parent before conception (because of their previous smoking), the direct effects to them in the womb, and the passive smoke they are exposed to after they are born.

personally I'd rather have 18 more years of life than the pleasures of nicotine.
