Get a waft of that too...
Its really not hard to quit smoking...I do it all the time
The TV commercial from Camel cigarettes was made well over 60 years ago. Some members know my Dad was a GP who smoked. He qualified at the end of World War II. It was 20 years after that when doctors and the public started to become aware of the dangers of smoking.
One in ten deaths worldwide are due to smoking. It’s the greatest single cause of illness and premature death in the UK ( 100,000 deaths / year – including my Dad ) . The World Health Organization (WHO) has estimated that tobacco consumption kills 10 Filipinos every hour. Passive smoking, and a career where I have performed 10,000 autopsies, mean I can speak from experience. It’s not a topic I find amusing. Smoking is an addiction and it’s hard to give up. Everything that can be done should be done to help those who wish to stop.
Despite this, it’s a lifestyle choice and I don’t judge those who still smoke.
My positive message to smokers - no apologies for repeating it :- give up if you can, the benefits start almost immediately .
