SciAm.com: Strange but true: Warning: Smoking permanently damages genes

This is for decorative purposes only, since I think no amount of scientific evidence can effectively stop smokers from smoking...

 

Nice find... lemme give this to my future patients to make them quit -devil

 

Come on, you should know that patients rationally want to quit (most of them anyways) but give in to the cravings way too easily...

 

True. My dad went through the same thing, but the key is to take it slowly. Worked for my dad, which I'm happy for. -bigclap

 

meh, you dont live that long anyway, changing genes should be the least of ur worries... lung cancer would be the bigger deal

 

Then ill tell them thats how they will look like later if they dont quit

 

Well, aren't we all going to look like that sooner or later? -rolleyes

 

Smoking Is Cool! U Get To Die Fast

 

Yes, because we can't hope to win the dying race otherwise....

/sarcasm

 

24 samples does not seem like a conclusive study,

but its nothing i wouldnt already expect from heavy smokers
