True story: my grandmother used to rail against smoking and drinking, claiming that she was going to live a long life because she never smoked once.
She died of cancer from talcum powder, which she used every day.
Also, let me assert that car exhaust has probably given more people cancer than cigarettes.
The point is we encounter lots of obviously bad shit for our bodies and on a daily basis, and the vilification of cigarettes isn't justified in light of it.
Not a smoker, just saying anti-smoking rhetoric is really myopic.

Smoking is bad is the shittiest big Pharma meme. Veganism is almost as bad.

>what are statistics
Misunderstand, misrepresent and ignore them at your peril.
Ryan Powell
Yeah I've seen plenty of old folks who still smoke and it seems the general consensus among them is to not inhale.
Chase Brooks
Statistics are a shit argument because they don't account for lifestyle, diet or genetics. Show me one example of a smoker with lung cancer without a genetic predisposition to it.

Then what is the point? That's the only way you're going to get a nic-hit from a cigarette. They aren't like cigars.

Excepting, of course, the fact that smoking has a clear and significant negative effect on immediate quality of life as well as long-term health outcomes in 100% of cases, including but not limited to massively decreased cardiovascular function, the yellowing and loss of teeth, impaired mental function and that horrible funky smell all of you disgusting smokers have.
You're a fucking idiot and Veeky Forums is not the right board for you, especially if you think the fact that we encounter bad shit on a day-to-day basis somehow means we should encourage inflicting it on ourselves and others.
Ayden Foster
Go to a random pneumonology clinic and ask how many of the patients there smoke. Bonus: Ask only cancer patients.
Thomas Hall
Smoking is obviously bad, but that user was just pointing out some contradictions, you sperg.
Easton Myers
Moderation by ratio. Smoking is obviously bad for you, in excess proportions. So is drinking water to toxification. Same with eating carrots. Dudes, just be real with yourselves. Smoking a few cigarettes at a one party over the course of one month is not going to immediately disintegrate you to cancer. Fuck. Use your heads.
Julian Wilson
There aren't any contradictions you fucking fools. Clearly there is no correlation between smoking and death, just other genetic factors. If someone can smoke for so long and not get fucked clearly this is not causation.
Jonathan Price
You miss the whole point. The point is people rally hard and loud against smoking when there are dozens of causes of cancer everyone just ignores.
Where is the anti-talcum powder thread? The anti-car exhaust thread?
Carson Bennett
Is Veeky Forums really getting astroturfed by tobacco company shills now? I fucking hate 2017.

Sure buddy.

It's kinda hard to pinpoint the exact cause because correlation =!causation

People will always smoke but if you convince them it's bad they'll be more likely to spend even more on addiction aids (which tend not to work for Americans because they think it's magic medicine that doesn't require effort).
Eli Cox
Friendly reminder that all smokers are getting cucked by tabacco jews.
You are paying absurd amounts of money to pump pure poison into your lungs. There are no benefits to smoking. Maybe some superficial placebo effects that you are creating in your head to justify your stupidity. Smoking wastes your money, time and health. Makes you stink and nonsmokers will look down on you like on a poor demented puppy.
You think smoking relaxes you? You are just stressed when not smoking cause of your addiction and smoking relieves that. There is nothing spiritual or intellectual about it. If you smoke to fit in with other people the you are a desperate person with no character.
Leave our /fit now. Reee.

Joshua Martin
That's retarded. Today, people don't even need to "quit" they can just use e-cigarettes. If not that, they can actually have some willpower and use the countless supplements to quit smoking. Smoking is dying overall, and the only people still doing it are old, edgy, or stupid.
Owen Lee
>there are unironically people on Veeky Forums that like to smoke Being addicted to the point of no return is the only excuse for consuming cigarettes.
Thomas Lewis
Pretty narrow point of view, broslice. You might want to get off the internet a few hours a day now and then.
Robert Nguyen
I'm an intern at a hospital, and there was recently a patient who was having horrible lung issues.
They squeezed out 300ml of tar from his lungs. I didn't see the process, but I was shown the end product. It was revolting.
Smoking's an unnecessary habit, it's never enjoyable the first couple of times, you need to persist to make it a habit and make your body reliant on the nicotine. It's pathetic.

Luke Cooper
>Smoking is dying overall, and the only people still doing it are old, edgy, or stupid. no one in the world died because they smoked, they got another disease caused by cigarette abuse, most people that got cancer or any other bullshit disease are the ones that smokes three packs a day, my grandfather still smokes since he was 18, he is 89 now but he smokes something like 2 packs on a week

Yeah, and some people can run across traffic and manage to not get hit. You think the same will happen to you?
James Diaz
>irrepairable damage it does to your lungs, heart, brain and circulation. what about the infinite amount of studies that shows that all the damage is repairable within time? also yeah, it harms some people and don't do shit to others, people react different to substances, but if cigarettes were as bad as media tells, most people that smoked regularly would die of cancer or a disease related to smoking with doesn't happen to everyone that smokes.
Jackson Reyes
Have you actually seen any real studies? Have you seen a smokers lung? Its fucked up beyond repair even without cancer.
Lucas Wilson
Every smoker I've ever asked about this plus me thinks truth.org is a conspiracy
Tyler Sanchez
you can't repair scar tissue from your heart, kidneys and lungs caused from smoking.
Dominic Reed
Pls cite studies that show that COPD is reversible. Please cite studies indicating that smoking-related illnesses, typically lung disease, isn't the leading cause of preventable death in North America. You'll be happy to read though that Indonesia, the country with the highest percentage of smoking adults has a relatively low rate of lung cancer deaths. worldlifeexpectancy.com/indonesia-lung-cancers
Ethan Barnes
[citation needed]
Smoking is 100% bad for you, but damage done to your body can be recovered from in 20 or so years to that of a non-smoker. Maybe not top, ideal, etc, but you can get to a point where it's negligible.
Landon Barnes
>Hella Kill yourself my man

Clearly the risk seems acceptable for you, I don't see the solace in saying that if a person quits now that in 20 years things will even out especially given how habbit-driven most human beings are.

Smoking costs a lot of money over the years and decreases quality of life, wheezing, coughing, medical issues, yellowing of teeth/nails/skin and isn't good for lifters/atheletes.
