It's not guaranteed that you'll die from smoking, nor is it guaranteed that you won't die from it.
Life is a short gamble, do what you want.



   QFT but it would suck if I knew I was gonna die on account of me being stupid.

Just imagine how cats feel when they die of lung cancer and are smokers

It really isn't as bad as they try to tell you it is.

I have 2-5/day btw.. unless I'm drinking then it's substantially more.

Stupidest reply on NT today.

By far.

This isn't to insult you, its to hope that you open your eyes the dangers that present themselves to you.

Because

Nicotine --> stimulates nicotinic receptor at the neurological subtype --> which stimulates increased levels of dopamine in the reward circuits of the brain. Dopamine is responsible for the euphoria and relaxation.

It was rather bold/misleading, but let's be honest.. if it was THAT bad for you they'd take it off the market
even though it earns billions in revenue from the taxes they put on it 

. 

Well, can someone put me on the dangers of smoking, from an unbiased and motivated perspective? I'm tired of hearing "because it's gross and this old guy who smoked just died of lung cancer".

I'm pretty sure a cigar every now and then isn't shortening your life at all

I'm a clove smoker, and the idea that i'm killing myself at a much faster pace doesn't really bother me, I go through only a pack every week and a half anyway.
