smoking tobacco is good for your health yes or no?

John Wayne smoked 5 packs of unfiltered cigs A DAY, for decades.

He did not have lung cancer.

He died from stomach cancer due to his alcoholism. He had over 40 pounds of waste in his intestines too.

Your GENES determine if or how bad anything is for you, nothing else.

FYI one guaranteed way to get cancer is PCB's/ Wicked chemicals they are.

Good for your health? Usually not. Good for your MENTAL health? Probably so.

Oh and Nicotine is NOT what the problem is with respect to cancer, COPD, etc.

It is the TAR that is the big culprit.

Among the other added chemicals in it.

Nicotine is the chemical responsible for the release of endorphins and the addiction. It is a stimulant.

FYI Pot is worse for several reasons.

There are no controls over how it is grown (cultivated) or anything else. You do not have a filter on it either.

Pot also have far more carcinogens in it that tobacco too.

It shrinks brain cells (and causes the paranoia issue) whereas tobacco does not.

Pot is GOOD for some people due to the medical aspect.

Glaucoma and cancer patients for one thing.

Tobacco doesn't help with either.

Yes.                        

no , havent you heard of a smokers cough .. But then it's there own choice . As long as they pay there tax on it , then who cares ..you do know vaping is bad for you , it contains nicotene too .

Smoking can cause lung disease by damaging your airways and the small air sacs (alveoli) found in your lungs. Lung diseases caused by smoking include COPD, which includes emphysema and chronic bronchitis. Cigarette smoking causes most cases of lung cancer.

Smoking anything is bad for you no matter what idiots say

But Your Choice to kill yourself slowly

clearly not. 

Your lungs were not meant to inhale smoke. 

This is why peope die in fires........smoke inhalation.......so why the f*** would you do it voluntarily? 

No, smoking tobacco is never good for anyone's health. It's actually detrimental, the leading cause of lung cancer, heart disease, etc.

No. Sure, some are lucky and live to a ripe old age, even when having been chain smokers since they were teens, but most aren't that lucky.

I've lost many close family members way too early due to smoking-related illnesses (heart attacks and lung cancer), and while my father lived to the age of 77 (still below our national average), his quality of life the last 25 years was significantly impaired by heart attacks, COPD, and lung cancer. It was a terrible thing to watch as a daughter, and a terrible way for him to go.

I have to admit that I just don't get it. I understand it's an addiction, but it's one that so many have beaten, and the disadvantages of being addicted to smoking are just overwhelming. You risk an early death, you stink, it affects your looks, and it costs you money.

I'm not sure how this fits into this section.... Tobacco has benefits and risks to health. It does help you lose weight, but you're putting yourself at risk for lung cancer.

🥴

Absolutely.

Anyone who tells you otherwise is miserable and bored with too much time and money on their hands. 

Tell them to find a hobby.
