Not just suicide, also homicide. My mother died of lung cancer, and she was NO smoker. Just found out that one of my friends who is a smoker has lung cancer. She asks everybody now why we didn't stop her? We tried for wat to many years, but she would just not stop smoking.

No not everyone. I used to smoke, it was just a thing I started doing when I was a teen to look cool. It was a haunting thought for the next 25 years if I would get lung cancer. I quit 7 months ago with the help of a little pill called Chantix. It is not a nicotine substitute...it block the receptors in the brain that control nicotine gradification. It worked for me, It is by prescription only.

In an extremely oblique way, yes.
While I don't smoke, I don't eat very healthily, don't exercise much, and generally don't take care of myself in an optimal way. Am I committing some sort of slow suicide? Perhaps. But the old 'who wants to live forever if you can't have any fun' idea starts kicking in.

I smoked for 17 years.You know it's bad but you also think you'll quit before it can hurt you.You don't know how ,you just will.One just likes it a lot.Even after 21 years I still think about that big drag on an afterdinner smoke.No it's not suicidal it is just dumb.If not for my wife and my love of basebalI coaching I probably wouldn't have quit and be in bad shape today at 54 yrs. old.Instead of the "Studly" guy I am.lol
By the way,I did it cold turkey after finding out the Nic is out of your system in 72 hours.The rest is psychological and behavior modification.I used A LOT of toothpicks!

I don't think its really suicide but I think they are just one step closer to cancer--and they know that is what enivitably could occur by smoking. They know there is consequences with smoking, yet they choose to do it anyway. I guess some people say they can't help it, but I think if you really want to quit, you WILL do it. It's a matter of if they truly want to quit or not.

Not just suicide, but also homicide. That is why so many places have issued a ban on public smoking, but what about at home? A lot of smokers have non-smoking family members. What about them? What about them!

If so, then are people who eat tooooo much salt committing suicide too?!?!?!?
I think that it is simply an unhealthy decision.
