Lets get real clear: Don’t smoke and, if you smoke already, do everything in your power to quit.
Don’t buy into that my uncle smoked and lived to be a 100 syndrome. Come on, not even the tobacco giants believe that. Apart from the well-known risks of heart disease and cancer, orthopedic surgeons have found that smoking accelerates bone density loss and constricts blood flow.
So, sure you could live to be a 100 year old amputee who smells of stale tobacco smoke. By why would you want to? That is not sexy!
