Is it better to smoke and enjoy life and die a few years younger?

I quit smoking a few weeks ago and then started again today. I don't know if quitting was really worth it ... I've smoked a pack a day since I was in high school and am 24 now so it's become so much a part of who I am. I don't think living to be 80 is such a great thing with having to wear a diaper and not remembering anything. I'm thinking it's better to enjoy life and take the chance of dying a bit younger but only after having really lived life to the fullest. What do you think?

I was talking about this with my buddy (also a smoker) and he pointed out that his grandparents died young and didn't smoke, so you can still die young and then you will have missed out on smoking

I would have to say it depends on how much you like smoking. You should try to think of the fact that smoking doesn't just kill you instantly one morning, it gives you painful diseases. I am also a heavy smoker and like smoking, but I can see myself with lung cancer saying, "Now I wish I quit back then." I don't think living as a senior citizen sounds fun either, but it would be hard to wake up and say, "OK, I'm 70. Time to go kill myself." If I'm going to have to wear a diaper and take a pill to get an erection, I don't want to have to carry an oxygen tank around as well.
