I've had smokers tell me that thier grand parents smoked
100 a day and lived to be in their nineties. That's a
really crap reason for ignoring medical advice and
continuing to smoke.
So it doesn't appear to have done your parents any harm
(I'm willing to accept that it didn't). Just as some people
are more prone to heart disease, some are more prone to
develop lung cancer etc. some people are prone to develop
ill health through excessive working hours.
Are you one
of those people? I don't know. Am I one of those people?
again I don't know, but I'm not willing to gamble my long term
health on it. I reserve my reckless stupidity for other things
(I'm over weight which doctors tell me is really bad for me and I
drink strong black coffee which is also bad - you pays your
money and you makes your choices)
Update: I've read this again and It's
almost reads like I'm calling you recklessly stupid.
I'm not, please don't take it that way. I'm trying to say
that almost everyone makes "stupid" short sighted decisions
with their health. Everyone's choices will be different.
