You see the lovely thing about statistics like that is they are so damn interchangable.

Smoking three cigarettes a day can increase your risk of heart disease by three, right?

Like how eating one bowl of healthy breakfeast cereal can decrease your risk of heart disease by two, right?

Like how not exercising for half an hour a day can increase your risk of heart disease by two, right?

Like how drinking over the limit can increase your risk of heart disease, right?

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.
