Let's not forget that the age of these people snuffing it are generally people who smoked non filtered cigarettes. They were also exposed to any number of carcinogenics in their lifetime.
These people get conveniently looped into the 'lung cancer' goverment spin on the smoking figures quoted....
like my grandad, who died from asbestosis, but as he smoked, it was 'smoking related'

I do feel superior...I dont have to go and stand outside in the cold in a pub or bar to breath in some smoke. I dont have that extra threat of getting some life changing illness or causing death. I dont stink of smoke, have stinking breath or yellow fingers or teeth.
I dont, however, look as cool as someone who smokes

not wanting to put a downer on your whole life, but cancer and heart disease can strike non smokers too

yes I know, read what I put though...'that EXTRA threat', I know the threat is always there but smoking adds to the chances.

Just because you dont have them now doesnt mean your not on your way to having them.

What, my fingers and teeth are miraculously (sp) going turn yellow overnight?
And im going to start to smell of smoke?
the above simply doesn't happen if you have any sort of personal hygiene and dont drink in smoke fume infested pubs.
You are generalising about pubs too much IMO. Am I causing you any distress by smoking whilst in my own house talking to you on the internet?
No.

You said any of the ailments, so you'll never have cancer, have poor circulation, etc?

Probably.
Cases of lung cancer can be traced back to the 17 century though...i refer to my posts earlier about carcinogenics, non filtered fags etc being included in the stats.....
I don't disagree with you on this matter in general...but Ive seen a lot more people in my lifetime die from alcohol/hard drug abuse than cigarettes

Addicted to playing World Of Warcraft - seriously.
If anyone is thinking of buying then game then I can say that it is fantastic but it's like crack cocaine and for that reason I'd advise you against it
