Sure smoking leads to genetic damage. Smoking is toxic and people still can't or maybe they don't want to understand that. How come most of the people are out there are so ignorant and at the same time only a small percent are looking for how to quite smoking properly. This is weird, don't you think?

With so many numbers and statistics out there that show the ugly part of smoking and people still continue to do it...

Odd..
