If you smoke please stop if not for yourself do it for your family.
More people die from lung cancer each year than have died from covid since 2020. The highest contributing factor for lung cancer are cigarettes.
In 2020, an estimated 1,796,144 people died worldwide from the disease. Lung cancer makes up around 20% of cancer deaths in the United States.

The rise is in the percentage of all cases. Smoking related lung cancer has been steadily declining while non-smoking relating lung cancer remaining more constant. If there is a point to be made, Judge Keller will generally #### it up.

The percentage of all cases that are non-smokers is rising not the overall number of cases. Case rate has been declining steadily and significantly for 30 years. The non-smokers are remaining more constant because we they haven’t been addressed as aggressively as smokers. Radon is the number one cause of cancer in non-smokers and has been relatively constant since 2010.

I'd say drug OD would be the most avoidable.

And it’s not just lung cancer. Smoking also causes emphysema, COPD, or whatever name they put on it these days. Lost both of my parents to emphysema way too early.

Plenty of people smoke like chimneys their whole life and die of old age too.
There are tons of unhealthy habits that people well into their 80s keep...the one thing that you don't grow old with is obesity.

My sister died of lung cancer and never smoked. My father quit smoking at age 65 and it killed him at age 80. The chemicals have no where to go in your body and form tumors. But Ridgeland is correct, don't smoke and you will have an almost certainty of having healthy lungs.

Their vehicle on I75. So yeah not everyone who dies of lung cancer were smokers just like not everyone who dies in a plane crash were passengers. However, in both cases yore shore a hale of a lot more likely.

I can count on two hands the number of people i know that smoke cigarettes now.
Feb 15, 2024, 5:45 PM
|

And those are almost all older people that have been smoking for decades.
Smoking is WAAAAAAAAAAY down in the US. Vaping another story altogether, and I’m sure it will have it’s own long term terrible impacts. But at least cigarettes are MUCH more uncommon now, from where I sit.

I agree with you...I quit and I say I quit because I never
use stopped because that means an opening for starting back.
I quit 37 years ago after I eye witnessed a very close loved
one die on his hospital bed from not cancer but a lung problem
from smoking and a stroke. I will never touch another cigarette.

Is this on the right board?
I have noticed people in general discount their own shortcomings and demonize the shortcomings of others. Fat people overlook eating issues, non smokers crap on smokers, etc.
We are here for a short time and no one is getting out alive

died from small cell. It's nearly always fatal because it spreads by the time they catch it. Mom's started around the heart and spread to her brain. It was very hard... she was 64 and just retired. Closet smoker

America's love affair with smoking was incredibly intense. In the 1950s it felt to me like nearly every adult smoked. Most movies and a lot of tv shows featured smoking, often as sort of an elegant habit. In my youth a huge number of stores in the south featured a sign on the glass door, "Come In,
It's KOOL inside.
When I was a student at Clemson the smoke inside the Clemson Theater hung like a cloud in the light from the projector.
And of course, the economies of North and South Carolina leaned heavily on tobacco. MyLots of our families made a living via tobacco. A friend of mine went to work for in IT for cigarette company. She was surprised when her supervisor asked on her first day at work, "What Brand do you smoke. She told him she did not smoke and was informed that as an employee she got 2 packs of cigarettes each day she worked and she ought to pick the brand she would be given and then give them to friends who did smoke. My roommate my freshman year smoked like a fiend. Last thing at night before going to bed, he smoked a cigarette. First thing in the morning he smoked a cigarette. Jerry died about 10 years ago.
I mention all this as a personal excuse for smoking as a kid. I started at 15 or 16 and smoked until I was in my 20s.
Nowadays, it looks and feels like there are very very few professional people who smoke. That has been a nice turnaround.

Smoking the hippie cabbage will get you also.
Most people over 40 have been exposed to a lot of second hand smoke as well.

I know 2 people very well who died of lung cancer. The first one died in 2009 after it spread to his brain shortly after he was improving. He was in his late. The second one died in her early 40s after it spread to her liver. He never smoked and she smoked.
My Grandfather smoked his whole life and died at 84 and never had cancer.

My father passed away in July from
Feb 16, 2024, 12:40 AM
|

heart disease. He never smoked. I contribute it to him living with my grandfather that smoked in the house, work, in the car, basically whenever he was not sleeping, he was smoking. My father moved out when he got married, but worked with him, riding to the job site smoking away.
My grandfather would buy my cousin cigs for high school, back when you could smoke with a parental note.
I never understood the attraction for smoking and never will. It's one of the most self destructive, activities other than drinking in excess, and drugs of course.
