You're going to die anyway, right? Like Denis Leary said...sure, smoking takes years off your life, but they're the years at the end. The crappy, stuck-in-a-nursing-home years. The senile, bedwetting years. Personally, I have no problem dying a few years earlier. Enjoy what you can now, don't extend your life into punishment for your family.
