There's just too many old smokers around to justify your conclusions. Stress causes more medical problems than all other causes. Smoking relieves stress. Have a cigarette and a glass of whiskey and sit around a campfire, a soothing activity that human beings have enjoyed for several million years. Smoking In my search of the internet, I have found absolutely nothing that scientifically proves the so-called harmfull effects of smoking.
Smoking relieves stress, soothes the nervous system, provides contentment and counters indigestion.
It may be civilization's most important find in helping human beings deal with the complexities of life. For the scientific and medical communities to mislead the uneducated with outright lies to cover their inadequacies is criminal. Maybe it will take genetics to prove what thinking people have known for years,that smoking does not kill. It is absurd to associate the habit with all the diseases that self righteous, self serving fools claim are being caused by smoking. For unknowing, hypocritical self promoters to choose the non-smoking propoganda is totally unamerican.
