    They began testing a vaccine for smoking based cancer a few months ago. Emphysema and COPD are still things to worry about, but cancer might not be for long.

        Death is it’s own problem.

        The part that’s less known is smokers tend to have other nasty health problems like COPD where even having a conversation needs a breather and climbing a flight of stairs in one go is entirely outside the realm of possibility.

      I am looking to that. Been exposed to a LOT of second hand smoke growing up, and I have various medical problems that increase my risk for cancer, and also the wildfires I’ve had to work in…

      People, smoking doesn’t just affect you, and also who the fuck leaves all the doors and windows in a house open during thick wildfire smoke and then demands the person having an anxiety attack to help with heavy lifting outside like come the fuck on

      Yeah, well, and loss of sense of smell and all circulation-/heart-related problems might be a teensy bit problematic, too.
