We new but not easy to quit no matter how hard you try

Is the a throw back Thursday thing? To 1954? CNN?

Even more dangerous if you have compromised lungs.

Quit 5 years ago cold turkey. If you can make it through that first week, you can do it. Those first days are the absolute hardest.

You can do it and it’s well worth it

You can do it! Do whatever it takes. Any weight gain is worth it, so be sure not to worry about that.

It gets easier. Find new habits to replace smoking. I quit over 30 yrs ago. If I can do it, you can do it. I made up my mind that I was in charge not the cigarettes, damn it! Lol. It worked.

I'm about a month and a half. My tip. Get some pickles and some SUPER hot sauce. I mean eye watering hot. Combine and let sit a day. When I crave a cig I have a pickle. It has worked surprisingly well.

...add a bit of water, close - take a sniff when craving; 3) popsicles.

Could but likely won't. Pack a day addicts wouldn't see their 40th birthday. Thing is, nicotine causes or worsens other stuff and makes life miserable. Getting rid of GERD/acid reflux and a yearly bout of bronchitis makes quitting worthwhile.

frittata

We've known this since the 1970s!

Yes. We definitely needed another research conclusion...

I quit smoking cold turkey 14 years ago. I haven't had a cigarette since. It can be done.

Nice.. But also, shouldn’t i be dead by now with that logic

I watched my father die of lung cancer. It's definitely not a good way to go. I quit smoking before I turned 30. Quit drinking, too. I don't miss any of it. I encourage all to do the same!

Sounds like a bonus to me

At least in the US we know what a non sequitur is.

How is this new research? Xavier Renegade Angel made a joke about each cigarette taking 17 minutes off your life in 2007.

Sarcasm, ever hear of it ?

The average life expectancy is 77 so if it starts at 60 they're losing a lot more than five years. I'm not defending it though, a little known fact is that so many people die every year from smoking that during the pandemic, more people died each year from smoking than Covid.

Reports like this promote cigarette sales better than advertising. I wonder if all smokers on this thread know they're just feeding the beast along with the cancer?

“New research” is doing absolutely no work in this sentence whatsoever.

i quit Jan 1 2024

Living longer in this economy?????

Old research says the same. 40 years ago

Sheeeet. Let me get a carton

With trump coming back I see everyone going back to all vices! So ask all the Christian soccer mom opioid junkies in the Midwest for your first fix…

thanks for the news from the 80's!

Yeah who doesn’t want more of THIS

That's a powerful motivator! Quitting might not just save you time but could also open up a whole new world of experiences. Cheers to making healthier choices this New Year!

Nothing this is news. We've been saying smoking shortens your life, even by telling them by how many minutes for each butt for decades and who doesn't know quitting will make you healthier? During the pandemic we still had more smokers dying than people with Covid.

Making me want to take up smoking again, stop tempting me with an earlier release from this hell.

But on today’s world where retirement is a dream for so many is a longer lifespan really a selling point or is that kinda the point?

How about alcohol?

Great , I get to be poor longer if I quit?

I doubt that is true. My grandmother smoked until she was 95.

Do we really need new research for this?

I smoked for 10 years and finally committed to quitting. Best decision of my life.

Yeah, also those fascists since I'm a disabled vet.

yeah but it's the years at the end though

Let’s shoot for 40

So, I should be -312 years old

Talk about old news!! Come on CNN!

My favorite 3rd Rock From the Sun is when John Lithgow discovers smoking. Jane Curtain says, “Smoking takes ten years off of your life.” Lithgow responds, “Yeah but that’s at the end of your life and those years suck anyway.”

Ok

I gotta pick up smoking...

Holyshit, quitting smoking is good for your health? Thanks for the breaking news CNN.

Smoking can extend your life expectancy??? Remarkable!

BREAKING NEWS: Cigarettes bad

Soooo i should be dead by now then lmao

Who doesn’t know this?!?!?

Trump needs to start smoking
