    I started smoking in 1985. My first carton of cigarettes was given to me in college by camel cigarettes. They set up a booth on campus with the ploy of being career recruiting. I believe this was a regular tactic to get people addicted young. They gave away hundreds of cases to struggling college students. Several people in my dorms started smoking then.
    I smoked till 2015. I can’t tell you how much wasted energy and money that nasty habit costed me. It was the hardest thing I’ve ever done (quitting).
    I feel so much better now.

      I watched a video about the age/appearance thing the other day, it's actually really interesting. These people look more mature because the clothes and hairstyles they had are the same or similar to what those same people (who are now much older) wear today. So it's actually an illusion caused by us associating different fashions with different age groups. People have taken old pictures and edited them to change the clothes and hairstyles to match modern trends, and it makes the people in the images look younger.

      I think this is because of movies. I don't watch movies at all, haven't since college. Ten years ago. I noticed people tend to not be calm when speaking. But I am, and generally they calm, too.
      Then last week I happened to watch a movie at a friend's place. It was on, we were having dinner.
      It felt awkward how all conversations were artificial and agitated. And if everyone watches movies or tv series, they start speaking like that.
      I write and edit for a living. The only people who are reasonably calm are the programmers. Everyone else, especially in sales is dialed to 220% one way or the other.
      Nobody seems to be calm, but maybe I am also exaggerating a bit.

He’s not justifying it by lauding what he perceives to be beneficial as it concerns cigarettes, he’s simply saying that he’s comfortable with inevitably dying and he’s not going to quit just because someone informed him of the dangers.
      I still think he’s got an apathetic, fatalist outlook on the matter, but I’m saying that his stance and “Dr. Teeth’s” stance on the issue were the best articulated out of the lot. Ultimately, I agree with Dr. Teeth, but also I get where this guy’s coming from in a limited way.

      I mean it depends on the region you’re talking about. These people are city folk, and you can understand them better.
      On the west coast, the farmers and communities there have a rather impenetrable brogue to understand. And they always have. That’s where my lot were from. So tricky to understand, no one would get anywhere if they tried.

      Yes, because the cancer is caused by damage to the cells and their DNA which can be caused by CO2(smoke), nicotine, and heat. I don’t see a way to smoke anything without at least one of these getting all over your lungs, and that’s not even considering added chemicals.
