There are always people giving examples of how long a smoking man lives, in your example, 83 ~ Did anyone research how long that 83 year old man can live if he did not smoke ?? It could possibly be 183 ~ :loveliness:
And, a REAL man ought to consider others' feeling especially his family and friends. IF you suffer from any smoking induced disease, to name just a few, heart and lung diseases, would your family consider you a burden or a REAL man ?? Did you consider how your family could possibly feel if they see their love one ( that is you ~ ) dying of such diseases ?? You can no longer take care of your love one and they have to live with the pain without you in the rest of their life. How would you feel then ?? :L
Most importantly, smoking is not your own business ~ You are killing yourself , that is your own choice. However, you are also poisoning others' lives as well. They don't have any choices but breathing the poison air polluted by your second hand smoke. What would you feel if your love ones suffer from smoking induced diseases ?? What would you feel if your love ones die of smoking induced diseases because you wanna be a REAL man ?? Remember, smoking is NOT your own business ! :P
In my opinion, a recognized REAL man shouldn't be a selfish man ! :loveliness:
