My friend said he smokes as he thinks it prolongs life as it helps him to cope witn stress. In other words he suggests that smoking is good for stress! What do you think?

I've never heard that in my entire life!! I've been smoking for 3 years now and yet i don't feel healthier. Your friend might not die of some diseases caused by stress but cancer will do it for sure. If he's just beggining he should stop and find something else to make him feel better when stressed or he'll end up smoking a pack a day...like me! Stay healthy!
