Personally I think smoking is plain stupid, they make you stink,the costs are outrageous (in canada anyway) and plug up your lungs to make you feel like crap. But. My parents lived a long life as did their parents (one grandfather was 99 when he died) and all smoked since they were kids.
And if you think as most do that smoking take years off your life remember this thread when your in a nursing home,unable to walk on your own,you wear diapers like a baby,can't wipe your own ass and need your food pureed-ed...you might just wished that you smoked a few.
Put me in the minuscule group that thinks the risks of smoking and the ridiculous "second hand" smoke in open areas is overrated bull-sh*t.

Here is a hint:
Won't take long through. I imagine within 20 years, you won't be able to smoke in public.
As for the comment of wishing you had smoked a few: My dad died at 57, and smoked since he was 14. He died of complications from lung cancer. You might cut off a few years, but at 57, its not like you only have bad years ahead of you.
