Reply to: I'm going to start smoking

Statistically he is dead, that is all I commented on

No, you also commented upon an 88 year old woman that both drank and smoked heavily by some sort of assinine comparison.
If all you can do is burble on with half-witted gibberish I suggest you refrain from replying. We already have sas clogging up the forum with more cretinous havering than can possibly be good for it.

Statistically, the likelihood of a happy healthy lifestyle for the 2 characters involved would lie very heavily in favour of the 42 year old guy as opposed to the 88 year old woman. However, comprehending that is clearly vexing you, so just do what you think best. The early demise of your particular genetic footprint is hardly likely to be of much consequence anyway, blessed as you are with a brain that is smaller than a weasel's wedding tackle!

I don't need a lesson from you. Statistically he is dead, that is all I commented on, I did not try to extrapolate to the wider population, just making comment. Like the fact that you are unlikely to make old bones being such a fat c unt.... tick tock

You should be happy that Bag O'puss is here, Shaun of the Brain dead. He makes even you look like a towering intellect.

Who was right? The guy who died at 42?

I got run over on the pavement once so in future I'm going to walk down the middle of the road.

In London that's safer than the pavement

I walked along the road Twice, got run over twice.

Horses for courses I suppose.

So you intend plotting your course through life based on selective anecdotal feedback then? Why not try thinking for yourself for a change?

That's rich coming from you!

Most things that come from me are "rich" Churchill. You should know that by now. Now quick, back to your book, "Naval Knot-tying for Dummies".

I knew an old woman who smoked and drank to excess, she died last year aged 88. In 2004 I worked with a guy who was 42, he ran half marathons, watched what he ate, didn't drink or smoke. Ran 3 times a week, went for a lunchtime run one day and dropped down dead. Bet he doesn't feel so smug now?

And they die young. Smoking is a win-win situation as far as the state and non-smoking taxpayers are concerned.

This is true. The amount of duty paid by smokers far exceeds the estimated extra costs of smoking-related health care.

I think that the Government should be encouraging people to smoke not discouraging it.

Smokers pay loads of extra taxes and don't live for long in retirement, if they get that old at all. Pensions crisis solved!

This is a point overlooked by those health professionals who refuse to treat people with smoking-related deseases.
