But seriously, I quit almost 10 years ago (after many failed attempts) smartest thing I ever did, only wish I had been smart enough to have never started.

Smoking waste your money

and ruins your health and deteriorates some of the internal organs. Even if my friends are fully informed of this, they won't stop smoking

There is no benefit in smoking cigarettes.  Stop now.

Too true.  No benefits and more drawbacks - many debilitating or fatal - that can readily be counted.  If you're a smoker, do yourself and those around you a favour and stop!

Not only that, at 52, I'm usually thought to be in my late 30s or early 40s.  The reason is simple; I'm a lifelong non-smoker.  People of my age mostly smoke and they look years older as a result.  Even if only for reasons of vanity, quit!

im a heavy smoker but trying to cut down but i will not totally quit because- this may sound ludicrous to many of you out there but- my father was a heavy smoker too but when he quit cold turkey things didnt go right and in less than 10 yrs after he had developed lung cancer and died from it. it appears that if you have been smoking for a long time it becomes a part of your chemistry. take it away suddenly and there is nothing to fill its place. also, there is one wise old actress who said that ( i paraphrase) " i'm 92 and i will never stop smoking because its already a part of me. if i stop this i will get complications. better continue on smoking". this is only my belief. im not condoning smoking for those who are not smokers but for those who do, you might want to consider this.

people have been smoking since the beginning of written history. there are in fact benefits to it. here are some:
