Remember, the concrete evidence of smoking being really bad for you didn't really start coming out until the 80's. This man had smoked since he was 15 and was likely not aware of the health risks associated with smoking.

Once he started, he was probably addicted by those addictive, harmful chemicals put into cigarettes.

I think it's a different case if you have a smoker who started up in the late 80's/90's or beyond.

Sorry, but this old lady is calling bullshit on the no concrete evidence until the 80's.

The Surgeon General came out in 1964 with the sad evidence. Freakin' Nineteen Sixty Four. So, what, did the Government then take the next twenty years off?
My parents were both smokers - until 1965. It took them that long, but they quit. When I was a kid. Their struggles to quit made a lifelong impression on all four of their children. We don't smoke and neither do any of our children.

So, do you believe that the other team always tells you what they have up their sleeve? It's their responsibility to tell you everything?

GTFOOH!
