I lost my dad to lung cancer too, he smoked for 65 years before he died..Steves dad smoked for 53 years before he quit, not a sign of him ever smoking, better lungs than most 20 year olds..everyone is going to die from something..although cigarettes will cause cancer in some people, it doesn't everyone..I always say, when it's your time to go, it's your time to go...
but, I am planning on quitting..but, I'm very considerate, I don't sneak cigarettes in where I'm not supposed to smoke, and if smoking isn't allowed, I'm okay with it..I don't complain about it, just don't do it..
