You're lucky that you don't smoke more. Quit now while it's easy.

<< 10 more minutes.
Enjoy! >>

LOL

No, seriously, why not just start a thread titled "I'm a crack addict, how much longer do I have to live?"

Quit now, why in the world would anyone smoke? Do you like to smell like an ashtray? Do yellow teeth and fingers make you look cool? If you're this close to not smoking at all, why not just quit all together?

PH
:D

Not gonna throw out names, but thats how everybody starts. Do you think chain smokers started like that? No they started with one a day. Stop now. Carrying on and becoming addicted will be one of the biggest, and easily preventable, mistakes of your life.

hahahha - this thread is funny --

I don't know what's more funny -- the guy thinking he has 1 lung (unless he really does :p ) or the guy saying you have 10 minutes to live -- heh --

I read somewhere that on average, for each cigarrette you smoke, you can subract about 7 minutes off of your life.

Use some common sense. You're inhaling smoke. If lungs were happy inhaling smoke, we'd breathe smoke and not air.

Take a look at what smoke does to the lungs here. !<warning, these phots are graphic in nature>!


<edit> To answer your question, though, for every person it vaires. One smoker can live to 80 while another might die at 40.

I have a question. Why'd you ask if you're not going to bother trying to quit?

I'm with Azraele.

If you are worried about it, don't do it.


By the way, the resale value on your car drops too...

I started smoking when I was a junior in high school. I got up to two packs of Camel Non filtered in college. I just quit last December. That was 14 years I smoked for. BEST DECISION I MADE IN MY LIFE. I tried several to quit several times and always went back to the black lung. It took my first child to make me quit. I did it cold turkey. Just woke up one day and said "I bet she is pregnant". That was it, haven't had one since. I hope it lasts. My asthma is now gone since I quit. I'm not hacking up little yellow balls of phlegm. I don't reek, people don't back off when I speak too close to them.

I guess what I am saying is QUIT NOW! I made the mistake of letting it go too long, not I have to wait years for my lungs to fully heal. You have to want to quit though. Good luck.

Actually my first mistake was starting smoking.
