Additional info, added Tuesday November 16 2010, 1:40 am: Im still smoking 40 a day but recently i have met a guy who has never smoked. He saw me having a cigarette and asked if he could have 1. I gave him 1 and now he smokes 30 a day. Did i do the right thing. Want to answer more questions in the Miscellaneous category? Maybe give some free advice about: Spirituality?

This is not just about you! Think about your family and friends. You really need to stop!
I'm not sure if your spiritual or not, but I am and in my opinion people who smoke should be sent to hell. God may make people suffer, but he always sees the good and bad in people and smoking is the bad in you.

Go see your doctor for help. There are actually many medications that can help you quit. My husband used Chantix, and it totally stopped his cravings after a week.

Peeps answered Wednesday October 6 2010, 11:09 am: There is absolutely no way for us to even take an estimated guess about this. Some people can smoke from the age of 13 until 82 without ever dying from the actual cigarette smoke. Some people will start smoking today and within a year's time they will have cancerous lesions form in their lung tissue and will die.
My father is 57 and has smoked since he was about 13. He smokes a cartoon of cigarettes per week. He's never had cancer or lung issues. He does have a weak heart but, from what I am aware, it's a genetic thing inherited from his father.
My cousin died of lung cancer caused by cigarette smoking when he was 31. He had started smoking when he was 28. The cancer spread faster and took his life within 1 year.
There's just no way of knowing when or even if the cigarette smoking will "do you in" but surely can cause a pretty painful death. It can cause a lot more things that will lead up to death, like trouble breathing. I suppose, in a way, it's like torturing yourself for quite some time. If I were you, I'd try to find a way to stop this habit. [ Peeps's advice column | Ask Peeps A Question ]
