Is smoking cigarettes really that bad?
We've all heard of someone's Uncle Charlie who smoked 2 packs of cigarettes per day, ate junk food, and drank tequila every night, and was never sick a day in his life and lived to be 99. So yes, some people get away with it. You can tell who they are, because they are never sick, and live to be 99!

No one is forcing anyone to do anything. We couldn't even if we wanted to. This is just an internet discussion. After we leave the computer, we each make our own choices.
