Yea you’re right - never mind emphysema, bronchitis, high blood pressure, low birth weight, asthma, heart disease, stroke, pneumonia, (shall I continue?) not to mention the myriad of OTHER cancers that have been linked to smoking. Get rid of lung cancer and you'll have nothing to worry about! :)

] drinking water are probably worse.

WORSE??? Apparently we can chalk up one more thing attributed to smoking - chronic stupidity. Please don't make me bitch-slap you with statistics. Lung cancer is CLEARLY several magnitudes more prevalent in smokers than non-smokers. Pollution and drinking water? Sure. How many NON-smokers have you met that came down with lung cancer vs. smokers? Sure it happens, but a hell of a lot more frequently in smokers (and we won’t even get into how many cases in non-smokers are possibly caused by 2’nd hand smoke).

] IF you don't like smoking,

] then kill yourself.

I’ve no problem with smokers so long as my family doesn’t have to breathe that shit too. I just wish the tobacco companies were not being held accountable for billions of dollars in lawsuits for people’s stupidity “What? I have cancer from smoking 2 packs a day for 30 years?” Of course not dip-shit – it’s the water. All that wheezing and coughing and hacking up a lung every morning was your body’s way of telling you “everything is A-OK – light up!”

And in regards to the “kill yourself” remark…
