Do you think smoking is a real cause for death?

Question

if your question is yes , then what u think about this ??
My grandma used to say she started smoking when she was 20... And she passed away when she was 90. She smoked for 70 years and had a quite normal death ..

Answer 1

I know what you mean. My dad did not smoke or drink or do drugs and ate healthy. He used to get onto me for smoking and tell me that all I have is my health and he died at age 54 mowing the lawn.

Answer 2

Smoking causes all sorts of problems that lead to death. Emphysema, cancer, coronary artery disease, strokes... the list is long, and the chain of cause-and-effects is proven.

Some people, however, are naturally more resistant to the effects of smoking. It might be genetic, it might be that your grandmother was a light smoker, it might be that she didn't inhale deeply, it might be a combination of all of these.

This doesn't mean that YOU will have inherited this resistance, however. That's still a crapshoot, and if you lose, you lose big time.

Answer 3

smoking does kill people. In the case of your grandma, it could be either, the nicotine content of the cigarette that your grandma used when she was just 20, was not that strong and so as those cigarettes she have used succeedingly OR, your grandma's lung is just really that strong and is capable of resisting the dangerous effects of smoking

Answer 4

You feel you are smoking a cigerate, In real sense the cigerate too smokes you equally well and marrily.

Secondly it may be the cause of discomfort to the people arround while you smoke.

Answer 5

Answer 6

every now & then they should replay an old david letterman show that surgeon general c. everret koop was a guest on, the good doctor was taking questions and someone in the audience asked him to explain why it is that almost every family has an old relative that was never seen without a drink in one hand a cigarette in the other and the person lived a long, long life, I thought the good doctor would have a long drawn out answer but he surprised me with his simple yet brilliant response "good genes"

Answer 7

I would say that your grandma was blessed. To live that long and not have any smoking related problems was a blessing.

Answer 8

My Mom says that to me all the time. But I still smoke.

Answer 9

I actual have 2 jewelry with diamonds in them. One became given to me via my grandma, it she have been given it extra or less 30 years in the past from my grandpa as an anniversary present. the different is my engagement ring given to me via my fiance. i've got by no ability offered something with diamonds in it, and despite if i'd desire to arise with the money for it i does no longer. As a woman i do like vivid issues sometimes, yet i'm no longer a sucker for diamonds.
