[quote]MrSmith if you saw 3 of your grandparents die from emphasemia and lung cancer caused by a lifetime of smoking you wouldn't touch cigarettes.[quote]
Seen a couple go due to lung cancer - not nice.
Then again, seen plenty live long, and die in a fairly mellow fashion; and have seen puritanical ascetics die of horrible diseases without any of the fun beforehand. It's a lottery.
Like I said before, people want to think about other evils like environmental pollution (automotive, industrial, chemically based fixtures and fitting), cholesterol, food additives, crops and livestock and associated pesticides/growth hormones etc, stress levels, work-life balance, lack of exercise, alcohol abuse, blah blah blah.
