Cigarettes dangers are overblown

[.*my*.]

Take a look at these maps of lung cancer by country. If you've ever been to the middle east or know someone from the middle east (I do) then you know that they smoke non stop like trains (even women), and all types of tobacco (Syria, Lebanon and Jordan are in the top 15 tobacco consuming countries). But for some reason they have among the lowest cases of lung cancer in the world.

TLDR: yes smoking MAY cause lung cancer, but other factors are more significant.

the people dying from smoking smoke like chimneys and are also obese

when ethnics smoke they do it like once after work i think

Nonsense.

90% of syrians are smokers and lung cancer is borderline non existent

Syrians smoke at work, on lunch breaks, after work, in the morning and before sleep. You can look it up on wikipedia it says the average Syrian smokes like 7000 cigs a year and still low lung cancer rates.

Probably due to lifestyle. Most people who smoke in the west live sedentary life styles sitting all day being obese. Poorer ethnic countries people are always walking everywhere and doing manual labor for work

Their diet is much better. Superb diet with olives, olive oil, low carb and all kinds of healthy fats probably what's helping them.

obesity rates are high asf in the middle east , higher than in most of europe
infact this might be why lung cancer rates are lower, they die more from obesity related problems

I thought the western countries were most obese. That’s what everyone likes to say at least

Most of them died young in the war, the cancer didn't have time to get them...

water is wet. if burgercels hated obesity like they hate smoking their average life expectancy would increase by 5 years. When I smoke they act like I'm worse than a crackhead.

Time to smoke

Infrequent but I'm thinking of starting. Now looking at the actual data I won't care any more. Makes you look more rugged and manly anyway.

It's probably genetics because so many whites who smoke get cancer. My grandfather smoked and died of lung cancer and my aunt's two sisters who smoked died of lung cancer.

I think it's about your lifestyle. Most smokers are very unhealthy altogether. Besides the cigarettes they eat junk food all the time and barely exercise. Also loads of smokers have poor mental health, which is linked to falling ill easier.
I think if you smoke less than ten a day and otherwise have a healthy lifestyle you will be fine.

Those who hope to achieve any athletic success should avoid them at all cost though that's for sure

Also my uncle who smoked got throat cancer but beat it

 

[Veganist]

yeah I believe so too

but I try not to smoke much these days because it screws with my cardio

I do like 2-3 cigarettes/day

 

[alphamaxxxx]

Here's a life hack boyos, smoke cigarettes at a bar or some type of social event to look badass and turn the bitches on - outside of that don't bother, cigs aren't even pleasurable

Genetics are definitely a factor, I don't dispute that. I'm just saying that all this crazy talk about cigarettes is an exaggeration because if they were true, these middle eastern countries would have the highest lung cancer rates

Depends honestly. I don't know a lot about gymmaxing but cigarettes increase your metabolism which makes it harder to put on mass and they damage your cardiovascular health. If you want to get huge definitely don't but if you like a leaner physique they don't hurt if your eat well. IMO the sex appeal is worth possible gains lost. E.g. Draper and Shelby

[Meteor21]

I think it's mostly genetics. My coworker is like 50 and he's strong as an ox but he drinks and smokes. My grandma is 70 and has smoked since she was a teen and only has a cough. But her sister who also smokes died of it like 15 years ago.

I think the answer is pollution.
I major cities the air is so bad that even if you never smoked a cig before you still have an increased chance of cancer.

 

[OldRooster]

Syria, Lebanon and Jordan are all predominately Muslim countries. They either don't count lung cancer deaths accurately, or they just flat out lie about the numbers. Occums Razor. Shit Thread.
