Well, even if she smoked 100.. there is always an outlier. Compare the number of long lived people to the people who get lung cancer that smoke vs those who don't and I think the numbers are pretty clear.
In general, I think it's up to people what they want to do with their bodies though. I probably drink too much (high quality ;)) beer, but I like it.. so whatever.
I can't do cheap beer anymore. I get butt-pee. The extra couple of bucks for quality beer is beyond worth not having emergency-bowel-evacuations first thing in the morning. |

Well i wouldn't call it an outlier, afterall smokers have only about 10% chance of getting lung cancer ... for non-smokers it's something like 1%. I think i'll give non-smoking a try too sometime soon, been smoking too much lately. |

Increase from 1% to 10% is a pretty big increase :) I'm not advocating not smoking though, I'm all for people doing what they want. There is a risk to almost anything.

Theory is when you know everything and nothing works.
Practice is when things work, and no one knows why.
Here we combine theory and practice.
Nothing works and no one knows why.
