Lung cancer is the least of your problems if you're a smoker.
Smoking greatly increases risks of literally every possible health condition.
(This is why the first question you'll be asked by a doctor is if you smoke or not, no matter what your complaint is.)
- oarabbus_ 8y ago>Smoking greatly increases risks of literally every possible health condition. Actually, cigarette smoking can reduce the incidence of diabetes, metabolic syndrome, endometrial cancer, and Parkinson's, to name a few. No, I'm not claiming cigarette smoking is good for you. I acknowledge it's very bad for you. But if you point me towards two people, one who smokes "one cigarette a week" and does light exercise, and a second individual who is sedentary, and drinks alcohol and soda regularly, I'd wager most of my net worth that the 1-cigarette-per-week individual is far healthier. It's possible for something to be very bad for you AND also for the dangers to be overblown.
- yesenadam 8y ago>Smoking greatly increases risks of literally every possible health condition. Is that actually true? Somehow I doubt it, but I'm open to reading research (or whatever) on the question. (I'm taking you literally because you specifically wrote "literally", but maybe you didn't mean it...literally)
