Buford Posted July 20, 2006 Share Posted July 20, 2006 My grandma ate fried meat (including fatback) and vegetables cooked with fat meat for flavoring her whole life, and dipped Scotch snuff 'till the day she died. She died at 88 earlier this year. Hell, most of the old folks in my family on my dad's smoked or chewed or both, and most of them lived to be to 70 or 80 something. I still believe that genetics plays a big role in risk factors for various diseases, although outside factors can and do have a role. Some folks are more predisposed to certain ailments.I do loves me some fatback if it's cooked right. (Sorry, that was my inner redneck talking.)

THE NAMELESS Posted July 20, 2006 Share Posted July 20, 2006 well i think that stress is the main killer of people and my hookah keeps me relaxed so i think im going to keep smoking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokinshisha4life Posted July 20, 2006 Share Posted July 20, 2006 I'd rather be happy when I'm younger than be fresh as a daisy when im 90. The younger years of Your life are the best part of life. I just figure, dont become an addict and start smoking cigarettes. I think my hookah smoking will slow down as my life becomes more busy and I get older. In comparison to a chain smoking cigarette smoker who will only quit when its in between life and death for that individual, and even then they will be sort of reluctant. My thoughts are just to do what makes you happy and dont worry too much about death, everyone is gonna die at some point, even that damn doctor....lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ghostofdavid Posted July 21, 2006 Share Posted July 21, 2006 Next doctor visit, I am going to take my hookah with me and offer him a smoke so he can take a break between his visiting of other fat, sick, smoking patients. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zombiedepot Posted July 25, 2006 Share Posted July 25, 2006 Moderation is key. Doctors aren't usually the most optimistic people either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cafedelmar Posted July 25, 2006 Share Posted July 25, 2006 The doctors are just telling it how they see it. At the same time though, I couldn't imagine my life without either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
