How long does it take to die from cigarettes? -

How long does it take to die from cigarettes? -

-cause my mom smokes and i want to know how much time she has left.

She smokes about 3, 4 a day, maybe more. She also coughs heavily everyone in a while.



Also, how do you think i can get her to stop smoking?My grandparents are 87 and 83, and have been smoking for over 60 years, and showing no signs of quitting. If it-s only 3-4 a day, she-s doing ok. You have nothing to worry about. You have more to worry about from stressing over it, than her smoking 3-4 a day.Some people are more genetically predisposed than others to suffer from different diseases, so that really depends on your mother-s genetics. There are people who smoke all their lives and never get lung cancer, but that-s not a reason to smoke!

Also, the different illnesses associtated with smoking vary in how long they take to run their course. You will die from pancreatic cancer much quicker than you would from emphysema, for example.

Smoking is a very hard habit to break. Your mom needs to see how it-s affecting you - especially your health. I would also remind her that you don-t want to lose your mother sooner than you have to.
You don-t die from cigarettes. You die from diseases that are caused by smoking, such as heart disease, emphysema, and various cancers.
Does your mother smoke 3 or 4 cigarettes or 3 or 4 packs? If it-s just 3 or 4 cigarettes, don-t worry.
I-ve never smoked, and I don-t think cigarettes should be legal because there is no doubt they cause disease. But not everyone who smokes dies from it. Your mother knows it-s not healthy; don-t bug her. And don-t worry. She-s fine.sounds like she has emphizema (sp). her doctor will have to tell her to stop. Or just approach her.

Mom, I love you, and I want you to be around for a long time. But your cough is not healty, and i believe it is caused by the cigarettes. Please mom, for me, and for the rest of the family. Please try to stop smoking. I will help you get through it. But I want you here for a long time.They say if you continue to smoke as tyou are yet young.. continue to smoke wont kill you just like that but make u ill at tiems and sickness... so for example... if you smoke from when u where 18yo and continue to smoke all th way till your 25yo your survive to live will be much shorter...

for example if you never smoke you will survive till your 80 or longer.
If you smoke regular and too much daily or a couble a week you will only survive till about less then 60ish yo.

So if you want to see life more longer then just 60ish yo stop smoking because each day smokeing takes a point off your life to tell u a day when u will not last long.

Please dont smoke its no fun its stupid smells bad and it cuts your life down pretty fast.

FACT too is that smokeing can make your face and body look much much older in time.
FACT smokeing can make you very ill over time
FACT smokeing can lead you to black blood and die sooner.
FACT smokeing can lead you to ashma for the rest of your life.
FACT smokeing can lead you to heart chest pains at times.

All that may get into you all or some or one of them and each one is not a nice thing.

Please dont smoke...
Just try herbal smokes.. herbal smokes are fun.... its not real nicotine and you survive more and healthy too smoke herbals but without the nicotine and such.This is hard.My doctor told me when i wanted to quit it was harder than giving up drugs or alcohol.You should sit her down and let her know the 2nd hand smoke is killing you and you would like her to see you walk down the aisle.Also print off some really scary pamplets from the web about disease and lung cancer from smoking and leave them a day or so apart in different rooms.hi darling

Three or four cigarettes a day is not really smoking. Don-t worry about her.My grandmother was around 94 when she passed and she was a heavy smoker, so I have no idea.
