In some studies, at the end of them, I see:

“quitting smoking reduces your chance of dying from all causes.”

So if I quit smoking I’m less likely to get hit by a bus?

    from every possible thing that can happen to you while smoking…

    cancer while smoking COVID while smoking caught in fascist riots while smoking hit by bus while smoking bear attack while smoking container dropped from a plane while smoking etc

    Smoking puts you out in the world which increases a lot of risks you wouldn’t otherwise have.

      I’d hate to get attacked by a smoking bear 🐻

      Ok, I get it. I don’t smoke or attend fascist parties so I’m good for awhile, maybe.

      Thanks.
