cancer if you are a smocker?
Question:
Answers:
Tobacco is an addictive drug, and smokers are addicts. Even if they would like to stop smoking, their physical addiction to the drug of nicotine makes it very very difficult. There are a substantial number of people who have been alcoholics or heroin addicts as well as being tobacco smokers, and they will tell you that tobacco is the hardest addiction of all to overcome. Most health insurance coverage pays to help smokers stop, so please urge your brother and mother to try.

what the hell is smocking.
Exactly, Steven.......why would we want to know about "smocking"??
Dont listen to that anti-smoking propaganda. Its all based on speculation, and worst case scenerio. That 75% number is something I assume you estimated, or just randomly picked. The real percentage is unknown, because there are so many carcinogens (things that cause cancer), that scientists can not just pin a cause of cancer to smoking. I would not worry about your brother IF he smokes in moderation. Heres my take on why...(and of course you wont hear this from any of those annoying TRUTH idiots) Your body has a knack of defending itself. It doesnt just let you poison it. When you smoke cigarettes, yeah some tar gets in your lungs, but when you are not smoking, your body is cleaning itself, and removing the byproducts (tar) of the smoke you inhaled. The reason the anti-smoking campaign will show you the blackened lung is because that lung had more smoke going into it, than it was able to get rid of. (the person, who it belonged to was probably smoking upwards of 3 packs a day. Way more than your body can clean out of itself.) As far as not stopping, personally, I havent found a reason to. I enjoy smoking, (cloves) and its inexpensive enough to continue. I undertsand that there may be a shorter life expectancy, and are health effects, but they tend to only effect the people with weak immune systems. I feel that anything done in moderation, will have little effect, if any on your long term health.
There is a new drug out now to help quit smoking.
