Do you know anyone who has used tobacco products for decades and are still going fine? 80 and 90 year olds specifically

I sat down and visited with the dad of a friend of mine that had lung cancer and was given just a few weeks to live, a few months ago, we sat there talking under his carport, he was on oxygen, chain smoking away, said he did it to himself, had smoked since he was 9 or 10 years old, wasn't in pain, and didn't feel sorry for himself

I have been dipping for over 40 years. Go to the dentist every 6/8 months for cleaning and checkup and my dentist says he really cannot tell I dip.

Buddy of mine is an ENT and he will look at you and tell you he sees mouth/throat cancer from dippers and smokers but also has patients with mouth/throat cancer that have never touched a tobacco product.

My neighbor's friend just go diagnosed with Lung cancer and she has never smoked and was not raised by parents who smoke.

IMO....I think you are genetically predisposed to cancer whether you do bad stuff or not on the other hand, why take the risk.

my grandmother smoke for 50 years, eventually died in her sleep not related to smoking. she was 88.

My dad quit smoking 14 years ago and was diagnosed with lung cancer this past spring at the age of 70. On the flip side, I know a man who smoked cigars from the age of 6 to the day he died 93 years later without any issues. So,who knows..

It not dying so much as it's the 30 years of emphysema .

Not written in a warning on the pack is the vascular damage done by the nicotine will eventually render one prematurely impotent.
