I dont know you and really have no place to say this, but I wonder if anyone has ever really told you.
At 20 I was just like you. My vice was racing motocycles, not smoking, but believe me they can both kill you.
Now at 43 and after having watched TWO of my high school friends DIE from lung cancer...I have a different perspective. The last one caught a cold that wouldnt go away. he finaly went in to the doctor for test and found out he had cancer. 6 months later he was dead. He was a big guy, probably 250 when he got sick...he was maybe 150 when he died. he was a tough guy, first one in a fight, and the first one to be your friend if you needed something...he wasnt so tough those last few months.
I bet if I asked his wife and two kids, they would have a different perspective on smoking now as well.
so keep saying its not an option to quit...
I realize this is a rant and its your life, and you dont have to listen to anyone. I just cant understand the mentality of a person who would no more play russian roulette, but will risk the same thing (in a longer time frame) with smoking.

Come on, folks - quit ******* him about smoking. He knows the risks and all you clowns are doing is alienating him. This is not the place to do that, this is a place where he can get help in taking care of the damage to his TRUCK, not his lungs. How would you beer drinkers like it if everywhere you went, people ragged on you about the evils of alcohol? Same principle!
