EVERYTHING IN WORLD THAT EXISTS IS BUILT FOR A GOOD REASON,BUT THE PROBLEM IS THAT MOST INVENTIONS ARE ALWAYS OVER ADVERTISED FOR COMPANIES TO BE RICHER AND CARE ABOUT MONEY RATHER THEN PEOPLE"S HEALTH. A CIGAR is differenet then rediculas cigaretess in the stores and or gas stations THEY DO YOU NO GOOD. If you smoke ONE AND ABSOLUTELY ONLY ONE CIGAR a Year IT"S NOT HEALTHY BUT EXTREMELY HEALTHY. IF YOU DRINK ONE AND ONLY ONE GLASS OF RED WINE A DAY NOT A DROP MORE THEN IT"S NOT ALCOHOL BUT SOMETHING THAT KEEPS YOUR BLOOD AND LUNGS CLEAN AND HEALTHY. Everything that is invented is invented for a good reason but reinvented for ONLY MONEY SHOW THEM THE MONEY THEY DON"T CARE ABOUT YOUR HEALTH.

No, they are for real. My grandmother died of lung cancer after quitting a month earlier. She had been a life long smoker-35 years. My grandfather died of lung cancer, also a 35 year smoker.

There are over 250 known carcinogens in cigarettes. Carcinogen means cancer causing. This alone would deter me.

Everyone has oncogenes in their bodies, these genes determine how a person is going to react to cancer causing agents(cacinogens). Therefore everyone will react differently depending on family history, environment, etc. But these genes will either "turn on or off" when exposed to a carcinogen and start to produce cancer cells which turn into tumors and kill you.

So those commercials are right on and you should not smoke or start to smoke if you haven't already.

It used to be (in the 50's) that smoking was really 'cool'. Just look at the old movies.

Then people started dropping like flies and lung cancer is NOT a fun way to go!

Eventually laws came into existence to protect people from cigarette manufacturers.

Tobacco does kill, but in my opinion and looking at research on the internet, our lungs are going to die out anyway as we age. Smoking tobacco just speeds up the process. There are alot of people that have lung diseases that claim to have never smoked.

Yes, smoking does kill. It is a carcinogen and will cause Cancers of all types, throat, espohagus, lung, kidney, pancreas, stomach...to name a few.

It leads to many other conditions, not just cancer, which will take away from the quality of life, like bronchitis, emphysema and hypertension and hypercoagulable states.

In any situation, it's not a good thing to have, it'll make you sick and poor while making the cigarette company rich.

Tobacco in and of itself, although very irritating to the lungs, does not kill. It is the myriad of other lethal ingredients that are in cigarettes (including formaldehyde - used in embalming dead people) that causes the cellular structure of a human being to become mutated and corrupt - from this comes cancer, and other hideous anomalies all leading to premature death...

Yes smoking kills. There is significant, scientifically proven studies that there is a direct link between smoking and the different diseases (that lead to death)

Personally, I have seen tobacco effects on many patients, who eventually expire(ie. die)

Smoking kills... for REAL.

My father smoked for years and ended up with COPD and lung cancer. He died from it.

For years before he got sick and died he hacked and coughed all the time. He couldn't laugh at a joke without going into a coughing fit and his clothes smelled bad, his car smelled bad. It was all bad. You don't want to smoke. It's bad for you and disgusting for those around you.
