Reply to comment by bubblybesharam in TIL that one of the few positive health effects of smoking is a drastic reduction of a person's risk of thyroid cancer. According to a Korean study of the health records of over 10M people, smokers have a 36% lower risk of thyroid cancer. Smoking and heavy drinking reduces one's risk even more. by EncyclopediaJake

Eh. Average of a few years. Those would probably be shitty years anyhow. I'll take the early check out and look cool doing it.

Actually I quit years ago, but there's always a little part of me that thinks quitters never win. Wish I never started.

Im hoping my ten years of smoking afforded me some preventative protection. Quit recently, no regrets so far.
