Like ... I think you get the picture. Thousands of these scenarios exist. Which cancels out which?
Again, people like you focus on just the smoking with silly statistics like these. Besides which my point was about skin ageing. I don't think we have to worry about Johnny Depp looking ugly anytime soon, despite the inherent risks him smoking poses to your fun filled existence.

Hardly silly statistics - but if you want to see them that way - that is, of course, entirely up to you! I have already agreed that there are other health risks, but the thread was about smoking! As for Depp - he is only 47 - in say 5 years, he could look in his sixties. On the other hand, maybe he has very good genes, but for others to bank on the same - would be optimistic, to say the least! Maybe, with all his money, he has had 'help' along the way! Who knows!
My existence is adequately fun filled thankyou! If others want to smoke - good luck to them - as long as it doesn't impact on me and mine!
