Quitting smoking idea?

[AceInfinity]

Now let's calculate the changes of getting hit by a car, a bus, a plain or what ever other solid object that could kill you. After that add the pollution and other toxic gases, not to mention serial killers, just killers, gangs, punks, drunks, etc...


I think going outside for 5 minutes is deadlier than smoking for 20 years.

But you have to go outside, you don't have to smoke.

Some are required to go outside to smoke, so wouldn't that increase the chances of getting hit by a car?

You're logic seems a bit off here though Neko:

I think going outside for 5 minutes is deadlier than smoking for 20 years.

I've been outside for, lets just say for the sake of argument... 40-50% of my life? I have to go to work and I had to walk to school every morning, and back, and all the sports and traveling i've done. Now we compare to some of the elderly out there. I know my Grandma has lived a lot longer than some of the residents that she lives with, and they were on oxygen tanks. Yet those former smokers now don't live their anymore, and my Grandma still does. Take a moment to analyze why. Some of them had heart attacks by the way, but they also had cancer at the same time of that event.

5 minutes of being outside compared to 20 years of smoking? You've got to be a heavily self-motivated smoker who just has no interest in quitting to say that.

Now don't all the top leading causes relate back to the side effects of smoking?
