This is Sam. I'm sure that this will really piss some people off, but people rarely pay any attention to facts and are hell bent on what they believe. I am not advocating smoking, you shouldn't do it, but I was always told that if you smoked, you would die of lung cancer. So, what percent of smokers die of lung cancer? What percentage of people who get lung cancer smoke? Ready? 7% and 22%. Hmm. Not what you thought was it? Fact: if we don't continue convincing people of the imminent death by lung cancer from smoking, the US Government will lose trillions in income from the sale of cigarettes. Reality: if you smoke, the killer will likely be heart disease. Doesn't evoke nearly as much emotion, does it?
As an nonsmoker and VERY sensitive to the smoke and I actually get very sick from it. I really appreciate when smokers are concerned about the people around them. I agree with the other person who said about walking away. I have done it often when I put myself in that situation I even stay out of the bars here at home. Luckily the restaurant's here are nonsmoking for that I am really grateful.
UK cancer research ,,,yf Smoking and lung cancer By far the biggest cause of lung cancer is smoking. It causes more than 8 out of 10 cases (86%) including a small proportion caused by exposure to second hand smoke in non smokers (passive smoking). UK cancer research ,,, USA cancer research Lung Cancer Risks Because our lungs draw in and utilize the air from outside of our body, anything that we breathe in can affect their health. The most important risk factor for lung cancer is smoking tobacco. Nearly 87% of all lung cancers in the United States are smoking-related. Quitting smoking helps to reduce that risk – learn more about smoking cessation programs. Lung cancer is the #1 cancer killer in the US. But the good news is that it doesn't have to be. Fully 90 percent of all lung cancers could be prevented if everyone quit smoking. so back to your 7 and 22% ???? so 22% of the population who get lung cancer smoke but 7% of the pop dies from lung cancer so that makes you 400% more likely to die from lung cancer if you smoke , scarey,, when you can reduce your risk by 85% by not smoking in the first place . just having fun with #,s
.........if you smoke........just don't around us! Kissing a smoker is like licking a dirty ashtray...........and there is no denying that!
Really have you really licked an ashtray... I've heard people say that before...and always wonder why the hell someone would lick it... its like that saying it looks like shit , smells like shit.. are your really going to lick it to make sure it tastes like shit.... However will admit I've sucked back a beer that some asshole put their butt in.. that was gross.. but never have I licked an ashtray... LOL
I love the comical statements in that post LOL.. It's true, how does one know what an ashtray taste like? I smoke menthol so I guess I taste like a minty ashtray. Never had any complaints though that was sincere comedy! I love it.. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
All seriousness aside... When you said that about kissing someone who smokes it made me think of Forrest Gump !! Remember when he told the hookers Lt Dan had for them and one kissed Forrest He said"You taste like cigarettes!! Lol
