It Is More Important To Exercise Routinely Than To Quit Smoking
Actuarial tables show that more people die on account of not exercising than smoking. Its a fact. So you are going to live longer if you run and smoke than if you don't smoke and sit watch television.

I can Understand what you're getting at, but I'd advise against running and smoking.

Exercise is very important... I think that exercise should be part of a daily routine. And If you're a smoker, a healthier lifestyle might prompt you to quit or at least cut down on smoking. Anyways, Smoker or non-smoker, exercise is more important than laziness.

Oh dear.
What's wrong with society these days?

Exercise is very good. I love exercise.
Smoking? Disgusting. Never ever gonna smoke, thank you.

Exercising when you smoke is dangerous. Your lungs are failing; and you go and try to destroy by running around and getting out of breath.
Stupid much?

Theres also a greater chance that the smoking guy with bad lungs isn't going to be exercising very hard.

 You see that's the problem! Good folks that smoke assume you must quit smoking BEFORE you can "get off the couch". They never quit smoking so they never exercise and then they're doubly screwed. And you can run and smoke, I've run 3 marathons being a 2 pack a day smoker...and yes, I've quit since then before my first child is born so save it!

Yeah exercise is good but if you don't stop smoking then you more likely to die from that ten having really bad dibeates. I thank i rather would not like to get cancer from smoking and die.

Yeah, exercise routinely to get healthy, then light up a cancer stick after. Its kind of like taking a nice shower, getting all clean, and then rolling in the mud. Doesn't make much sense.

 Just like three hundred pounders who rail against "smoking", we are all walking contradictions.

Let's get our facts straight here. Smoking can cause several different types of cancer such as deadly mouth cancers, lung cancer and stomach cancer. Not to mention the numerous other diseases that can come from smoking, predominantly lung cancer. To add, smoking can take away 7-30 years of one's life according to researchers. Also, do you really wish to live in the discomfort of having people around you turn away because of this tobacco use? Moreover, 2.5 million people die every year from smoking; do you want to be next? Furthermore, smoking harms others around you with the even more fatal second-smoke. As well, smoking snatches money: One pack isn't that costly but hundreds of packs each year really add up.
To give you a better idea, here are some other effects of smoking:
Throat cancer
Larnyx cancer
Esophagus cancer
Kidney cancer
Bladder cancer
Pancreas cancer
Liver cancer
Anal cancer
Cervical cancer
Prostate cancer
Heart attack
Coronary heart disease
Cardiovascular disease
Congestive heart failure
Stroke
Leukaemia
Emphysema
Chronic bronchitis
Pneumonia
Asthma
Diabetes
Stomach ulcers
Cataracts
etc. Etc. Etc.
...
So perhaps you should check the accuracy of those "tables".

Except being a fat slob won't truly kill you, unlike lung cancer.

"Actuary" - ?
"Exercize" - ?
