It won't stop smoking from destroying your respiratory and cardiovascular system. Enjoy your early age heart attack.

Yeah people think smoking only damages the lungs, but it's multi-system destructive.

Yeah, a colleague smoked like crazy. Another was surprised when he has a heart attack. I made the remark about how much he smoked and he was surprised to learn the link.

Another colleague smoked like crazy and drank Coke like water. I've lost contact but leaned he passed away.

Some people really don't take care of themselves.

So you're saying, like, if people had kept on smoking, there would have been much more pressure on the medical research community to basically cure ALL the diseases and conditions that we can have?

I think we fucked up. I'm saying this almost unironically.

Also, it smells like ass, so even if it wasn't harmful, smokers would still stink up everywhere they go.

You know what AMAZES me, too? Pipe and cigar smoke is actually really fragrant. Like, actually pleasant, if you ignore the fact that it's still dangerous to your health. Especially the sort of pipe smoke that literally has fragrances added to it.

Buuuuut those forms of tobacco plummeted into tiny-niche percentages, when stanky-ass cigs started being manufactured in industrial quantities.
