Pssst: You are going to die.
So am I.
Even vegans, non-smokers, and marathon runners. All dead.
Very true.
In general, however, which of these people have a better quality of life? Especially the last 10 or so years of their life? The women with copd that struggles to breath and dies at 65? Or the non smoking woman that excercises daily and lives to be 85?

Certain triggers in our environment set off cancer in our bodies. Cancer is a mutation of our DNA. It’s a mystery but smoking sure as hell doesn’t help.

Your genetics are the biggest driver.
That’s why you have those cigarette smoking, whiskey drinking, vets, who live to 102.
And you can do everything right, and die at 48.

Had a grandmother who was a life-long smoker and died of lung cancer. shite is definitely real.
I think household radon is another very big cause.

If you look at “non-smokers” in the U.S. who develop lung cancer, it’s 10 to 15 percent of all lung cancer patients. Even taking the high percentage of 15%, that means 85% of people in the U.S with lung cancer are smokers.
And according to the CDC, only 15% of Americans are smokers.
So 15% of the population represent 85% of lung cancer patients.
Question asked and answered.

Smoke causes Pulmonary issues. So it's best to Skip it altogether.

Have you read even a small fraction of the tobacco documents? They have known smoking causes cancer for a long, LONG time.
