At this very moment my oldest brother is dying from lung cancer. He is in an incredibile amount of pain. By the time he was diagnosed he was already stageIV having it spread to his spine, he has lost an incredibile amount of weight and is now deciding whether to take anymore chemo. 5 years ago doctors told my brother to quit smoking and even though he smoked very little he didn’t quit. I am sure looking back he wishes he had listened to them. Everytime he sees a small child staring at his bald head he explains that this is what smoking will do to you. I know in my heart that the smoking is what will ultimately take my brothers’ life and if he had it to do over he wouldn’t, so for people out there that question what smoking can do to you my brother is evidence that you will pay a hefty price- your life.

Makes you wonder why tobacco is a legal product! If it is so bad and deadly and such a public health threat then why not make it’s use and posession a felony with jail time? Why is it still sold? I am to conclude because tobacco products are legal then the threat is not as bad as some claim, since I don’t hear any one wanting to remove the product from store shelves and criminalize it’s use. Then if not a health threat, those that make such claims and want to restrict smokers rights to use a legal product while taxing the hell out of em and treating them like dirt is nothing but life style control! Pure and simple!
Either ban the sale, use and posession (and with it all that covited tax money)of tobacco or get off smokers backs!

Your risk after ten years of not smoking goes down to half that of a current smoker, or about one in 20.
The 7th decade of life is indeed age 60, not 70.

aren’t your 60′s your “7th decade of life”. The article said lung cancer attacks at age 70?

if a person quit smoking at age 30 and has not smoked for 14
years,does the risk of developing lung cancer at 70 decrease?
