Smokers Should Quit Before They Find Out They Have Cancer
Anyone in their right mind would be scared to death to think if they keep smoking they would or could die from smoking cigarettes. Think about it you are putting lit fire in your lungs.

Some can't even quit after they find out they have cancer.

Smoking is so addictive and it is so very hard to quit. Yes, people realize that it kills but overcoming the habit and urges are very difficult. There are many resources out there now though and people need to take advantage of these. There are quit lines that provide support and the patches to help quit. Even insurance companies are footing the bill and trying to increase the amount of quitters. You would think that the fact that dying would stop people from smoking but I guess it takes alot more than that. After people find out that they have cancer or some sort of breathing problem, it is already too late.

I've never fully understood people who smoke, I understand its highly addictive, but that's beside the point. The desire to live longer and not die of cancer early in life should more than over-shadow the desire to put that cancer-stick in your mouth.

I'm for it because it's true, if you keep smoking you could die if not, you'll suffer from smoke related diseases

I don't like your reasoning on this. First, you should know already that second hand smoke is far more dangerous than actually smoking itself. Next, you should also realize that the debate itself is whether or not [YOU] should have enough power to tell someone to stop smoking. A better topic would have been; Smoking, Good or Bad?

I'll also explain the following; A person may smoke for various reasons - and yes there are many - so you shouldn't be saying they should stop before they have cancer. What if a reason would be to get cancer? Think about it, suicide would be seen as someone smoking 2-3 packs a day, until their time is up. Not to mention that this is only just one point of view, since like I've said, there are many different reasons for someone to smoke.

You do something because you yourself, are dictating what you do, be it good or bad for your own health. Telling that person to quit is just your suggestion, they could potentially take it and make it their own idea, however; for those that continue to smoke, regardless, have already made up their minds.

 No one is going to live for ever not even Sir Mick.
As far as the quotation goes, it can be taken as a metaphor.
If real men were those who smoked a particular brand then I wonder how many of them are still alive.
Anybody Know if Sir Mick still smokes?
