Stress, it's a killer

"Which is more likely to kill you, stress or cigarettes." - Chris 


Well, this is an interesting question. Being a smoker of 3 years now (I am in the process of trying to quit), I can see the health risks involved with smoking. Hard to breath and such, coughing, could lead to cancer. heart disease. All that fun stuff.  There is plenty of scientific proof and even the warning on the outside of the package of cigarettes stating to health defects of them. I honestly think this needs to be taken by a case by case scenario.

Stress can cause heart attacks and panic attacks and such. Stress can even be the reason for suicide attempts. I believe that stress is just as dangerous as cigarettes, if not more so. People can always choose to quit smoking. They usually can't just decide to stop being stressed. The long term effects of stress are just as bad as those with cigarettes. So, to answer this question I think that they are both just as dangerous.
