I doubt if there are many smokers on this planet that don't know it's bad for their health and the effects of smoking on their life. There seems to be a program of constant exposure in the press, TV and radio to ensure you never forget the dangers. Let's face it if you haven't received the message by now you never will. Lung cancer is not pleasant but is not the exclusive realm of the over 65's and people prone to it because of genetics. For some reason, people are under the impression that you have to be a regular smoker for it to be a hazard, well, think again because if you have just one cigarette it will taint your lungs for a month. So you can imagine how much damage just one pack of cigarette can do. It's no good just ignoring the problem; this is a serious subject with some serious consequences to consider.
You may choose to ignore the situation but there is no reason why you have to remain ignorant of the facts is there. Detection and the prevention of illness and smoking related conditions have never been so good so why not have yourself checked over. With some health issues, it's pretty cut and dry and one would think that common sense would overrule, but apparently it doesn't. Some smokers only start believing the dangers when something happens directly to them, something they can't ignore. Smokers are quite happy to go about day to day ignoring articles on lung cancer until they have are diagnosed with a condition of their own because you can't ignore it anymore.
To continue smoking, albeit through your neck because you've had throat cancer, has got to be the ultimate in stupidity for someone who is obviously in denial about how dangerous it is. Some people just never know when to quit, but you have to be pretty self destructive to continue after having cancer of the throat. Smokers may choose to ignore the evidence and the problem but it is not going to go away and it may choose not to ignore you! There is a plethora of research and articles on lung cancer to refer to nowadays, all of which go into detail about the conditions that are either caused by smoking or those made far worse. It's not just smokers who are affected either because those of us that don't would like to work or have a meal etc. without having to breath in other peoples smoke. Why not be good to your body and quit while it is still worth it.
