So it's only women that's part of that figure...if we included men, the percentage of lung cancer deaths are even smaller? Thanks for the info.

Actually, it's more like 38,000 out of 21,000,000 (18%) because not all 300,000,000 people in America are smokers. According to the American Heart Association, only approx 21,000,000 American women are smokers.

Fill in the blank "We can die at any moment for any reason. So, it's O.K to _____. There's a better argument for life than "it just doesn't matter because..." 440K die from cigarette smoke related illness. Add 8.6 mil Americans afflicted with a cig smoke related illness. The National Institute of Health says, "As many as 6.4 mil children who are living today will die prematurely because they began to smoke during adolescence." No matter what the stats, the only one that matters is you.

I appreciate the info, but 38,000 out of 300.000.000 isn't a big a number as people would like to make it out to be. It's kind of like a big chance of getting lung cancer from2nd hand smoke. I mean we can die at any moment for any reason.

There's no telling. What we do know is that your chances for heart disease, stroke and cancer increase with every puff of smoke you take, whether from your cigarette or the smoke from others. 38,000 Americans die every year JUST from second hand smoke. There is no safe exposure to cigarette smoke.

I have a question. I too started smoking at 14, but didn't do it too often. When I turned 18, I smoked every day..a pack every 2 days or so. Then 2 years later, maybe less, I quit for good. Then 2 years after that I had a cigarrette when I was in a bar and now only smoke when I drink and or at bars. I don't do it very often, like maybe once or twice in the month. What are my chances of developing any sort of side effects? Anyone know?

Chantix! Ask your doctor or just order it online. I did and I've been quit now for 3 weeks! You're young. Please quit!

Thank you!

Google chantix.Get your doctor to prescribe it. When you think you can't stick with it, look into the smiles on your girls faces. You'll want to see those for the next 40 years.
