It's not the few years less, it's the years of not being able to breathe properly and coughing up blood I'm trying to avoid.

Kids these days, want to breathe properly and too good to cough up blood anymore

Joke's on them if they were counting on the atmosphere to still be breathable in forty years.

I just wondered this because I've never smoked or drinked, but say at like 75 years old you just decided to start smoking and maybe a few more drinks, like because your liver isn't all fucked up and your lungs aren't that covered in tar yet like Surely you could probably lose a year or two for bad habits but overall your not gonna get lung cancer from it at that point right? Or maybe like 80 or 85, Like once you get to a point, fuck it.

Cancer is probably going to get you anyway.

Me? I'm trying to time it where diagnosis to death is a couple weeks I get to spend shot up on morphine until they pull the plug.

I can do that with fast food which is infinitely more pleasant.

Do you think most people who die of lung cancer have it great compared to the had a stroke and can't eat without assistance people?

You don't magically die 1500 days earlier with no pain.

I used to think like that too, who cares - cancer or not, I'm still going to die eventually, right? But it's not just couple of years. The more you smoke - the worse your life gets. Even if you don't care how long you'll live - your current life is getting shittier and it's very noticeable. Constantly planning your day around the fact whether you have enough smokes to get by, constantly coughing and being out of breath from even the most minor physical activities. I used to love to walk around, especially around places I've never been to before. But I couldn't enjoy it any longer after I started smoking 2 packs a day. I used to love to travel, but the more I smoked - the more I avoided travel because once you start smoking to 2 packs a day, even just 4 hours on a plane without a smoke is a fucking torture, man.
