SMOKERS DIE OF LUNG CANCER ... Wrong. Most of those who die of smoking don't live long enough to die of lung cancer. Usually, death occurs through brain strokes or heart strokes. At the time of death, many of those diseased have developed the early stage of lung cancer but would have needed another six months to die of it. THERE ARE MANY THINGS AVAILABLE NOW TO HELP QUIT SMOKING, LIKE PATCHES ECT. Wrong. Nicotine patches, chewing gums ect are on the market because they make money. They don't help; quitting smoking starts with depletion of nicotine, best done at 'cold turkey' method within 72 hours. Peak of withdrawal symptoms has occurred during that time, the cell disorder of lungs start to reverse towards 'going back to normal' after that time, and withdrawal distress should completely subside after two weeks. Wearing patches ect however will usually keep the withdrawal stage going until the distressed smoker reverts back to smoking as before.
