Numerous studies indicate that regular exercise increases longevity
by reducing cardiovascular disease. Then, if smoking one cigarette does

substituting either a "brisk walk" or "fairly frantic sexual intercourse"
instead of that cigarette. And imagine the pleasure!
Rapid Response:
Forget cigarettes, have fun, live longer!
