Smokers, has smoking cigarettes affected your health and overall life?

1. Of course it would. You can’t be a chimney without it affecting your life.

2. Not at all. I’ve been smoking for a decade and I’m super healthy. /s

3. Everyone is different, and I wouldn’t use this as some sort of validation in favor of smoking, but I used to smoke from 13 until 30, and never had health issues because of it. My father smoked from 20 until 64, and he is healthier than your typical 60 year old.

4. The affects of smoking on health are pretty well documented

5. I’m 45. Quit smoking 10 years ago. Cold Turkey. I’ve done a lot of shit in my life…..my biggest regret is smoking for all them years (started at 16). What a dumb ass I was….

6. I saw how my uncle screamed til death at hospital at his 63.

   That’s a nightmare.

7. Smoked for 14 years, age 14 to 28. It has permanently affected my heart rate and I can’t pass some medicals.

8. I smoked for 15 years a pack a day, quiting was the best and I mean the best thing I ever did. Wish I did it sooner. My breathing, sleep, blood pressure, dental health, mental health and finance all improved.

   One is to many and a thousand is never enough

9. I think every smoker can feel the damage it does. I also think every smoker, deep down, wishes they’d never taken it up in the first place. Smoking does make you cool though (and tattoos make you hard)!
