Smoking Kills!

Filed under: Patrick Swayze

wenn778633.jpg

Kids, do NOT smoke!!!!!
SMOKING KILLS!

A new report claims that actor Patrick Swayze had a filthy habit of smoking three packs of cigarettes a day.

We hope that's not true.

Any sane person would know THAT IS TOO MUCH.

Smoking kills!

INSIDE EDITION has uncovered Patrick Swayze had a three pack a day cigarette habit. The habit was so bad it was listed as a partial factor in the cause of a plane crash Swayze was involved in by the National Transit Safety Board in 2000. The report reveals Swayze was flying his plane when he became physically impaired in the cockpit which authorities said may have been caused by the cumulative effects of carbon monoxide by-products from the engine and from tobacco use.

Don't smoke, kids!!!

According to the American Cancer Society previous studies have shown that smoking is responsible for about one-third of pancreatic cancer deaths. Studies reveal heavy smoking may damage the pancreas before cancer develops leaving the damaged pancreas more susceptible and at a greater risk of developing cancer.

Smoking kills!!!!

    Fuck you Perez! You fat slob are always pointing to people who may drink or smoke but are never morbidly obese. If he wanted to smoke let him. If Lindsey wants to party let her. Must everyone be sober and have no fun. I think we'd be left just watching award shows promoted by PDiddy and Kanye West for themselves.

    While yes, smoking causes cancer, it had nothing to do with his Pancreatic cancer. And his smoking had as much to do with the plane crash as it would have with him smoking and driving a car. Only the car would have killed probably even more people. People have the right to choose. They have the right to choose to drink theirselves into oblivion and get liver cirrosis and hepatic encephalopathy and destroy their families lives with being an alcoholic, but no one is trying to stop them from doing that in public or banning alcohol consumption in an entire state. we've been there, we've seen how that pans out. LET PEOPLE SMOKE, LET PEOPLE BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THEMSELVES BUT ALSO MAKE THEM RESPONSIBLE (even cost wise) FOR THOSE DECISIONS!

    31

    what about all the dumb ass adults that still smoke. they know how bad it is , and yet they smoke every fuckin day. makes absolutely no sense to me. you can almost expect kids to smoke, because they are told not to. kids want to do something more when they know they arent supposed to be doing it.

    but ADULTS….what the fuck is wrong with you? i know there are adult smokers out their, addicted to cigarette's like its candy. so gross. i feel sad for people that are addicted and cant quit, but to the adults that dont even try. SO SAD.

  32. bette davis says – reply to this


    32

    Wow, that is really sad - I hate smoking and cigarettes SO MUCH!! I remember that actor Michael Landon died from pancreatic cancer back in 1991 and he smoked like 3 packs a day, too. I just don't understand why people continue to smoke - it so obviously kills. I can't even count how many star's lives were cut short due to smoking - Humphrey Bogart, Lana Turner and Desi Arnaz to name just a few.

    Smoking is associated with lung cancer not pancreatic cancer. Smoking IS a bad habit and it does kill but I don't think its the case here..but does anyone really know WHAT causes cancer besides smoking? I only hope a cure is found soon.

  46. bette davis says – reply to this


    46

    True, Hannah, but they do choose to start, ingnoring warnings that it can kill. I guess I should say - I don't know why people choose to even pick up that first cigarette…

    Re: VV – Think before you respond to a post–Perez is right and you are spreading ignorant ideas. Smoking is a risk factor for MANY different types of cancer. This is from the American Cancer Society website
    Cigarette smoking: The risk of getting cancer of the pancreas is 2 to 3 times higher among smokers. Scientists think this may be due to cancer-causing chemicals in cigarette smoke that enter the blood and damage the pancreas. About 20% to 30% of pancreatic cancer cases are thought to be caused by cigarette smoking. Many experts think this is why the rate of pancreatic cancer has been increasing in the last 50 years and is only now starting to decline as smoking rates have dropped.
    My thoughts and prayers are with Patrick and his family.

    51

    Perez, you need to STOP placing any sort of judgment when somebody is diagnosed with a chronic illness. The fact is that you can get cancer from any number of things, INCLUDING genetics. It likely has nothing to do with smoking.

    Please, educate yourself and resist the temptation.

    52

    PANCREATIC cancer. Get your facts straight perez. Making fun of celebrities is one thing, but calling a sick person not a "sane" person is cruel.

  53. That's Uncool, Perez! says – reply to this


    53

    I hate it when someone blames a sick person for their illness. It's cruel and inappropriate. It's like saying a promiscuous, gay guy deserves to get AIDS. Or that only innocent children or saints should be shown compassion when they're sick. No one deserves to die from such a painful and devastating disease. NO ONE!

    yeah, smoking's bad for you. but i don't think now's the time to say, "hey, patrick, sorry about the cancer. by the way, it's your own damn fault." if he wants to use this as a platform to urge people not to smoke, fine, but otherwise, let's all just mind our own damn business.

People are going to do things like smoke regardless of the facts about it affecting their health. Just sayin…

    I believe kids and adults alike should be educated about the ill effects of smoking, but using someone as an example, especially someone who is still ALIVE and has not publicly revealed that his cancer is smoking related is thoughtless and unquantified. Many people get many different types of cancer for different reasons. My grandfather died from pancreatic cancer and had not one cigarette his entire life!

  72. j says – reply to this


    72

    there's no way he smoked 3 packs a day. assuming the man never slept he still would have had to smoke like three cigarettes an hour. which is ridiculous, especially if he ever had to do anything else ever.

    Do a search on Patrick Swayze plane crash. The NTSB report did note that heavy smoking was a contributing factor in the plane crash and they specifically stated heavy. While I'm sorry for his illness and he doesn't deserve it, others do need to take note that smoking does cause a variety of cancer and it's not a pretty nor pleasant way to die.

    Yes smoking is terrible for your health, we all know that… So what does that mean? That he deserves this outcome?? That he asked for it?? I think you're seriously speculating right now and we should allow him to continue his treatments and heal from his ailment in peace without jumping to any conclusions. This is already hard enough on him and his family.

    YOU don't get friggin pancreatic cancer from smoking you ass! My 2 cousins got it and didn't smoke at all. THEY were all around 50 too…which is odd, because this disease usually hits people in their 70's.

    No personal offense intended to him as I really like him and feel sad about his current health situation, but truly the cigarettes are also the reason why he looks more like 65 than 55. He hasn't aged very well though he's been a fit dancer, etc. Cigarettes wreak havoc on the facial skin. Several people I dearly love smoke like chiimneys and it makes me so sad. That's one dirty habit that I just don't get at all. I'll never see the appeal to picking the things up in the first place, much less allowing one's self to get addicted to them. At least drugs and alcohol give you a relaxing buzz but cigarettes do absolutely nothing but make you smell badly. Why are so many people willing to surrender years off of their lives to smoke them? Blech.

    Get well, Patrick. We're praying daily for you.

  89. I love Patrick so much says – reply to this


    89

    even if i too think that smoking is really dangerous, i think that you should leave Patrick alone, at least for a while. He's just been diagnosed and we're creating a mess around him. Patrick needs support but not speculation about him.

    He doesn't "look" like a smoker. Most smokers I know have leathery skin, yellow teeth and wrinkles around the lips from drawing the smoke in. Hopefully he'll quit now if his cancer was indeed caused by smoking.

    Smoking is known to significantly raise the risk of developing pancreatic cancer, with up to a third of diagnoses related to it. Scientists believe nitrosamines, carcinogenic chemicals found in cigarette smoke, may be the cause.
