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?

    You should ABSOLUTELY quit smoking. Also, you should stop getting hit by buses. Neither one are good for you.

      Totally agree, buses suck! More to the other one, I haven’t had a real cigarette since 31 July; it had been 28 years of smoking with a few short breaks scattered in.

      It is insane the tastes I’ve tasted recently, as a die hard Dr Pepper fan I don’t know if I’ll be able to keep drinking it, it’s just too sweet now. Quitting smoking might lead to a healthier lifestyle all around.

        Congratulations on quitting smoking. I quit about 20 years ago. I tried a cigarette after being off of them for awhile. It tasted so nasty I don’t know why I ever started.

          Congratulations to you too! Finger’s crossed I’ll get to post the same in a couple decades.

        Gotta start small. Get hit by e-scooters and mopeds, then move up to sedans and eventually SUVs. Starting with a bus won’t be good for you at all.
