If you smoke you should quit because it's REALLY bad for you.

Smoking is even worse than previously thought, according to report

(Just a peak!!): Liz Szabo / USA Today

A new report from the surgeon general finds that smoking causes even more physical and financial damage than previously estimated, killing 480,000 Americans a year from diseases that include diabetes, colorectal cancer and liver cancer.
The report, released today, represents the first time the surgeon general has concluded that smoking is "causally linked" to these diseases. The report finds that smoking causes rheumatoid arthritis, erectile dysfunction and macular degeneration, a major cause of age-related blindness. Smoking causes inflammation, impairs immune function and increases the risk of death from tuberculosis, an infectious disease. Smoking also harms pregnant women and their fetuses by causing birth defects called cleft lips and palates and by causing ectopic pregnancy, which occurs when a fertilized egg implants in the fallopian tubes instead of the uterus.

What if you only smoke when you drink about 3 or 4 times a month?

Smoke weed. You can't get lung cancer from smoking weed. It's natural.

It's all about genes. Some people can do that and get away with it. Others can never smoke and die from second-hand exposure.

So, she's still alive. But how's her quality of life? Most people who smoke that long struggle to breathe and look/sound horrible.

I know a woman in her mid-40's who's been smoking for a little over 20 years and was just diagnosed wit COPD. Doc says if she does not quit smoking now she'll be on oxygen within a year or two and probably dead long before she's 60.
