Well Nightlight, I must admit you do pass on some interesting points and hard arguments. Yes, as you suggested with the exercise effect and comparing it with someone who has a broken leg (me with smoking). yeah that sounds likely.

But I've not seen such grat results on family members who smoke (some most of their lives). THe studies you are passing on and experiences are not what I see in my own family. I think the only one member I can think of that seems ok is my uncle. The rest had to give up from chest trouble and continual coughing or other problems that only subsided upon giving up (both my parents being two examples). So certainly it is not for everyone.
