As a smoker, and having smoked heavily for about 28 years: I can assure you - in earnest - that if I could have my time back: I would far rather be chucking high processed foods and drinks down my throat, than the crap that are cigarettes. Honestly. I say that with complete and utter feeling.
I thought I was immune becuase I was incredibly fit, active until my mid thirties: smoking never impacted upon my health. Or so I though: and from my late thirties: I have gone from being unbelievably fit - to having very little lungpower to afford me good physical health.
I can only speak for myself: and how I personally view it. But I honestly cannot agree with your own thoughts. Especially when I have tried over and over to quit: even though it will kill me, and far sooner than I probably even realis myself.
