About the CDC "Tips from Former Smoker's Campaign":
Real People, Real Stories
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) launched the first-ever paid national tobacco education campaign-Tips From Former Smokers (Tips) in March 2012. The Tips campaign, which profiles real people-not actors-who are living with serious long-term health effects from smoking and secondhand smoke exposure, has continued through 2017.
Since its launch, the Tips campaign has featured compelling stories of former smokers living with smoking-related diseases and disabilities and the toll that smoking-related illnesses have taken on them. The campaign has also featured nonsmokers who have experienced life-threatening episodes as a result of exposure to secondhand smoke
Smoking remains the leading cause of preventable death and disease in the United States, killing more than 480,000 Americans each year. Smoking causes immediate damage to your body, which can lead to long-term health problems. For every smoking-related death, at least 30 Americans live with a smoking-related illness. The only proven strategy to protect yourself from harm is to never smoke, and if you do smoke or use tobacco products, to quit.
For free help, call 1-800-QUIT NOW (1-800-784-8669).

Actually it’s super easy, barely an inconvenience.

Must have really heavy to get these diseases

@@scottpringle5486 not necessarily. It's a matter of mutations that occur. There is an element of chance mixed with exposure. More exposure increases the risk, but the risk of cancer is increased with each exposure.
