Health Question for the Older Crowd

[warren]

Weigh the risks and then, if you still want to injure your system, trust your genes and enjoy the burning weed. That's what I did nearly sixty years ago.

Any time you do something which reduces the oxygen in your blood is a negative. So, if you still want to make a purely selfish decision and smoke ... go for it. I did. So far, the only down side has been heart disease which necessitated a bit of surgery and a pacemaker. I guess I beat my genes into submission. I never did smarten up and still enjoy the side effects of taking smoke into my system. It's the nicotine I so enjoy. So, you pays your nickle and takes your chance.

I know we are all considering the use of tobacco, but overeating, lack of exercise, central obesity, breathing Roundup and other chemicals, eating plastic, driving fast, not heeding medical COVID19 advice (I've seen and heard of several), etc, etc, etc all can or cannot contribute to our ultimate demise. Heck, I could get run over today riding my bicycle.

There you have it, folks. Under no circumstances should any of us ride a bicycle!

If I had your lightning fast photoshop capabilities, I'd insert an image here of your face on Tony Hawk's body some 30' above a half-pipe. I don't, so use your imagination.

Dont wish your life away...

Less time spent here, more time enjoyed in eternity.

 

[hoosierpipeguy]

Absolutely! Oh...I forgot to include impotency...

I assume you're speaking of personal experience. You must be much older than me, haven't experienced any issues to date.

The first time I saw him kickflip into a primo slide my jaw hit the ground. Also, that one-footed nose manual he does is bananas.

Mine ended a long time ago. Just wishing for finality now.

That would be a blessing.

Remind me of "Paradise by the Dashboard Light".

I can relate.

Hereabouts, life has died and death lives.

That brought a smile. She loved that song.

True...whatever eternity means

Not so far, but it's one of the effects caused by smoking. Like I wrote, it varies from person to person. That said, it's been a long time since I spent an entire weekend non stop playing hide the salami.

Wonder how they're certain it's from smoking? I don't recall any headlines reading "Former Limp Dicks Report Stiffies Six Months After They Stopped Smoking".

Damn Doctors take all the life out of fun. Or maybe it's the other way around.

But at least he was smiling when he fell off the perch.
