Failed

It was only one just dont have another one, my dad smoked for about 40 years, then last year he got throat cancer, and stopped, he hasn't had one since...not that he had much choice... it was either that or die... don't let it get to that point.

On your genetic doodaaar, both my mum and dad smoked (mum gave up about 10 years ago, after about 30 years smoking, gave up one day hasn't had one since) I have three sisters, none of us smoke...

Thanks. I know I know. My Grandad dies at 65 from Heart Attack and my other Grndpa has had 3 heart attacks.

Going back to the genetics thing. NEither of my parents smoke or ever have done yet both myself and my brother smoke. The science of it goes something like this:

Our Genetic code is actually much simpler than was at first thought yet it was discovered that the same genetic defects can cause two completely unrelated disorders. The reason, it was discovered, is that a Gene can either be on or off (1 or 0 in binary code). To turn a gene on or off takes very little - Pollution, Stress, Trauma, etc. basically anything can act as a trigger on Genes. Once the gene has been switched on or off that state is carried down the genetic code. The most striking example of this is the children of Phalydamide mothers (I'm sorry that sounds awful) who show the same genetic defects as their mothers without actually being exposed to the Chemicals themselves. The same has been shown to be the case of Children born to mothers who used to live next to fields where pesticides are used.

I'm not saying anything is proven and the ramifications would be massive (especially for the US courts and Lawyers aka to$$ers) I guess that's why it's not widely discussed.

Hi, nice topic. Thanks. Honda body kit
