This is a topic that really in my opinion has no end....

My Grandad smoked Park Drive all his live but didn't pass away because of smoking....

But to the question... Smoking is very expensive so why do it?

Because they perhaps want too...  the same reason we go and fill our Omega's up with fuel and the person filling up behind you with there Corsa 1.2 that does 56mpg thinks "Why on earth do they have a car with such a big engine?" :-?


The point was I didn't know how expensive a hobby it was. 15 packs is about 1 full tank full of fuel.

£6 a pack - unless it lasts all week it is a lot of money.

Where did I criticise beyond the financial side?

The average Omega smoker will, most likely, spend more on ciggies than petrol in a week, month, year etc...tis their choice...... :y

I am one of the lucky ones, Lung cancer at 44 and survived, so far....... :D :D :D well if I don't then the option is.... :'( :'( :'(

I have seen the results of lung cancer - 1 grandparent got it 1 1/3rd lungs removed.

Lung cancer is one of the risks, along with many others. I know that, as does every other smoker :y

Of course... They have already proven that cancer is genetic. If the gene isn't present then you won't get it ;)

I have every sympathy with ex/non smokers and try to be considerate... I don't even smoke in my own car with them unless they have given me the OK :y

I know it's a disgusting habit, creating smells etc, but I enjoy it :y

Saw it in some documentary years ago... It was a gene that doesn't necessarily show for long periods or something :-/ Although I can only find reference to Breast/Prostate/Colorectal/Ovarian cancers online so perhaps I'm confused :-[ :-/

I do know that said gene increases the likelyhood of any cancer though.

That said, I must get my head around the idea of giving up... The extra money would come in handy :y I still put more money into the LPG tank than I do into my lungs but the extra money would be nice... Especially if we both gave up :y

i generally dont comment on such things as cancer as theyre very emotional subjects (my nan died of it and the images are haunting!!!!!)

but my understanding was that all males have cancer gene inside them but to suffer from cancer it has to be triggered by something for instance by smoking, constant inhalation of dust particles in certain jobs etc????

We have moved away slightly though from the Smoking is Expensive question.... Children Martin are expensive but we don't notice it do we? a friend of mine always seemed loaded with money when we had the girls and he had no children. Then he had a daughter too and is always complaining on how much money they cost and he cant afford now to run his brand new BMW...... we get used to spending the money out until will dont notice it or something else takes a back seat if that makes sense :)

To Cancer.
My Dad has Cancer a good friend of mine also has cancer we all know someone how has been hit by this horrible thing, but were they all smokers???

My wife has had cancer twice. 

With the luck of the chap in the big seat, looks like we are looking not too bad now, thanks very much.

And she has never smoked a one in all her life.

Firsthand.

But her dad smoked rollys all his days.

For him, amongst other things, cancer of the blood.

Bit of a bugger that was when it eventually happened.....   :'(
