Have known people that have smoked all their life and lived to be a ripe old age@jokerman My mother useta give me a quarter and have me walk to the store and buy one pack of Chesterfields to bring back. I would be able to keep the two pennies that would be inside the cellophane wrapper.
One time, both of them were steels.
@Gray Wolf Use it all to buy junk silver US coins. You are under the $10K no-tell limit.
@SubGirl -- Yeah, it is a fucking certainty you'll quit "one day". <-- That is guaranteed. Would you like to quit before you talk by putting a microphone against your throat?
That hole is really disgusting to folks, so you will not be able to talk to ANYONE without having them recoil in horror. I've seen it.
The back of your mouth could get... "red patches called erythroplakias. These are rare, isolated, velvety patches in the mouth and/or throat that typically show up in older patients." Check now in the mirror. That is another kind of benefit from cigarettes.

Or you could keep smoking cigarettes just like this lady shown below. Wait 'til you see her cough her chronic cough. Funny as hell. She has to carry a cloth at all times, everywhere.
Nobody notices, and she is welcomed everywhere. Of course, her husband cringes a lot as she clears her throat at the dinner table...

It is really worth it to keep smoking -- nobody will notice the hole, and your quality of life will be enhanced upward by each and every cigarette you smoke from today on.
No need for you to go through the absolute misery-hell of quitting cigarette smoking. Nobody can do that.
And no fucking excuse to light up another one, is there. Look at that woman's eyes, and ask her if she would trade places with you as you are right now. YOU still have a way to safety.
Ask her what she would give up to reset to where @SubGirl is right now.
The next cigarette you light up. Do it KNOWING what you are doing. Light right up; and be aware as you light up how rewarding that cigarette is. Yummy. Worth it.
I cannot get off this until I pound it into reality and not some distant, unlikely, not-too-bad finality.
One last thing as a doctor's daddy:
Before you light your next cigarette, look up what a breathing stoma is, and check to make sure your next cigarette is worth having a breathing stoma strapped on so you can sleep.
Enjoy the cigarette and ignore the above. Nothing will happen.
