Why do people say not to smoke i mean you will die some day even ways i mean look at steve jobs he died at 56 and never smoked a day?

Question

Of his life and still got cancer so why do annoying people say that?

Answer 1

If you smoke all your life, you'll have about a 5% chance of dying from lung cancer on average. It's not good for you, it will decrease your quality of life, but genetics has more to do with your chance of dying from smoking. I'm not saying go ahead and smoke, and lung cancer is only one way it can kill you, but odds are you'll die of something else.

Answer 2

because smoke isnt good for our health. so many bad ingridients in cigarettes contains. there's so many example out there the impact if you smoke. don't smoke, just love your life with mantaining your health

Answer 3

Excess of many things can instigate cancer, as can exposure to harmful environments.

Your example of Steve Jobs probably wasn't a good one, because actually he developed pancreatic problems due to an excess consumption of fruit. He believed that fruit was still healthy for a body even if it's consumed at the expense of all other food groups.
He was completely wrong of course and excess consumption of fruit was the cause of his demise.

However I see what you're doing there .... as in we're all going to die in some manner anyhow and therefore why not smoke and allow that to be the contributor?
If you've ever seen someone die from mouth, lung or throat cancers, you will understand why it is such a miserable, prolonged and excruciating death. There are a million ways to die and surely you wouldn't pick that one as your primary choice?

Besides that though, even if you don't contract lung cancer from smoking, it makes people wheeze, develop emphysema, reduces your vitality and fitness level, leads to clotting of arteries /veins and is repugnant to people forced to endure your secondhand smoke.

Answer 4

I think Chris Rock said "Sure cigarettes shorten your life, but its the WORST part of your life"

Answer 5

cause people that smoke do get cancer, i know someone like that, i agree you can still get cancer when you dont smoke and i dont smoke and feel that if i ever got it at least i wouldnt feel like it was my fault, guess thats the difference

Answer 6

They want to think they're in control, they never are though. How sad for them :(

Answer 7

I think the real question is why would you pay to smoke when you know full well the affects it has on your health? I mean they print pictures on the packs and people still continue to smoke which is crazy to me however smoking does shorten your life so tell me is it worth the risk?

Yes many people get cancer even if they don't smoke but are you willing to smoke and some day potentially have cancer when it could have possibly been avoided by living a healthy lifestyle and not voluntarily inhaling poison.

Answer 8

my mother NEVER SMOKED OR DRANK...and she had such a weak constitution that doctors said if she would have smoked or drank, she would have died TWENTY YEARS SOONER, and I would never have been born. I am VERY THANKFUL she did not smoke or drink--it led to my existence because she died when I was only 18.

Answer 9

Well not smoking will increase the years or days that you will live. I would rather die at 80 not a smoker than 60 a smoker
