I've been a cigarette smoker for years and actually enjoy it. But when does lung cancer become a realistic part of the picture for stoners/cigarette smokers? Sorry to kill the buzz...

[GanjaSmugler]

i hear that man, ive been thinking about that too lately. im 17 and have been smoking on and off since i was 13, but have been steady smoking for about a year now, and i can already see the affects of a pack a day, so i have cut down to about three cigs a day. im trying to quit all together before it becomes to hard of a habbit to kick

Only 2/3 of smokers get cancer........

There are people who never smoked in their lives and they have lung cancer. I'm not saying cigarettes are healthy cuz it's a waste of money and terrible for your lungs! But these health nazis are nuts. 2nd hand smoke causes more damage.......LMAO.

For cigarette smokes it's eniveitable, for weed smokers, practically never. There's not one documented piece of evidence that proves that cannabis (solely) is related to lung cancer.

gotta disagree that it's "inevitable"--I have some friends in their 80's who have been smoking heavily since their teens; still going strong and no sign of smoke-related health problems. On the other hand, some smokers get health problems as early as their late 20's.

There are exceptions and lucky people. I'm just saying cigarettes have been proved to KILL you.

you can smoke ciggys for from like 18-35 with little just a small increase of cancer.. however if u smoke before 18 you are greatly increasing your chances of cancer ... I suppose somthing with your lungs growing strong And shit before you fill them with smoke.

I could do a 5K around the same time. I average 6:42 per 1500K, so it's about the same. Ok I should quit cigerettes LMAO.

But it'll be fun to do an E-race.

You get all of these smoking statistics but what are the normal statistics, and how big a survey, where was the survey taking place are the "facts" even real. I mean you always get statistics but there bullshit, like if you take a bomb on a plane it aint ever going to blow up because of the chances of two different people having bombs on the smae comercial airliner.
Anyway 2/3 of smokers get cancer. But in all of those cancer charity adverts they're saying 3/5 women get this cancer for no reason and 1/5 men get bainr tumors the fact is we're going to die and reading statistics about how people die isn't going to change life for me.

A little known fact is that most tobacco is grown with phosphate fertilizers that naturally contain uranium. Polonium and lead 210, both radioactive, are thus present in the tobacco and smoke. For each cigarette you smoke you're basically increasing the amount of radiation in your lungs and body.

It would help if you rolled your own or smoked pipe tobacco grown in India, as it is less radioactive. You should also be sure to take a vitamin supplement containing the full antioxidant group such as Centrum. Antioxidants prevent free-radicals from damaging our cellular tissues.
