An irreversible health effect is a permanent change in the structure and/or function of an organ system or a permanently increased risk of suffering from a disease or some other threat to health. Irreversible effects vary in intensity and are related both to the amount and duration of exposure and the age at which the person is initially exposed. A risk or effect may diminish over time, but it may also increase; some risk may remain many years after exposure has ended.
Executive Summary
This report examines the irreversible effects of cigarette smoking on various organ systems and challenges the notion that a few years of exposure to smoking will have no lasting adverse consequences. Our hope is to discourage young people from taking up this deadly habit by appealing to their common sense and better judgment, thereby allowing them to choose for themselves not to smoke. We will not recite the familiar litany of smoking-related health problems such as emphysema, cancer, and heart disease. Rather, we will show that smoking cigarettes for as few as five years can have a permanent effect on the lungs, the heart, the eyes, the throat, the urinary tract, the digestive organs, the bones and joints, and the skin—even if the smoker quits.
We do not mean to dishearten long-term smokers. Despite smoking's irreversible effects, it would be foolish for a smoker to conclude that, after years of smoking, quitting would do him no good. Many studies prove that tobacco-related health effects decline substantially as time away from smoking increases; some of the benefits begin within months after quitting. But after years of exposure to the damaging effects of tobacco, quitting smokers must realize that they have to be realistic in their expectations of recouping their health.

Pour petrol over the nearest non-smoking nazi and chuck a match at them-not only will there be one less bleaty-muppet to put up with, but they will run all over the place with those nice healthy lungs, providing a light for other smokers in the locale.
This a joke, for all those joyless tards out there- keep your thumbs to yourself.

Sweet dear a lady mustn't smoke it is too daring and masculine it also makes your fresh petal lips taste and smell bad.I recommend you take up some hobby that will give you lasting fulfillment such as sewing or quilting.And leave those nasty habits behind you have no idea how many young ladies regret that disgusting habit.

I smoke.
I now I'm taking risks by smoking.
There are other risks.
So I chose quality of life before quantity of life (which I'll never now if it will be caused by smoking)
¡¡¡Have a light!!!
