For as long as I lived, I grew up with parents and friends telling me how cigarettes are evil and will kill me in a few years of using them, but I always wondered why I had so many old relatives addicted to smoking, shouldn't they be dead? Previous generations also smoked a lot, why are they still alive? After looking it up, I also found out they increase testosterone and help you lose weight, but not without said articles stressing to me how that's a just a rumour, how it has side effects, and overall an almost artificial effort to stop me from thinking it has any benefit whatsover. The only real bad part that I could verify by myself is the bad smell, is this smoking outrage complete bullshit?
