I am 80 years old and have smoked from one to four packs a day for at least 65 years, I have some stopped up arteries, some of the doctors has told me that quiting smoking was the best cure.
If stopping smoking is the miracle cure then why did they come up with stents and by passes, the doctor who is going to do a bypass has not even mentioned smoking.
My primary doctor told me that after all of the studies done on smoking they have came to only one conclusion, that is, it is best not to smoke, if you do smoke it is best not to worry about it.

If the posting community considers the idea worthy of a response, then the idea is quickly and easily refuted.)
