They've tried to find one, but everything that has healing properties so far either cannot be synthesized easily and has to come from very rare plants or fungi, isn't very effective, or has bad side effects.

And lung cancer is bad... very bad. Imagine your lungs are two balloons that regularly inflate and deflate. Now image that your lungs are two perforated balloons. That's what lung cancer does to you.

Are you an idiot or something? Lung cancer causes a slow and painful death. It's not automatic, it's a direct result though.

By your logic, that's like saying that jumping off the Empire State Building is good because you like the feel of the air whooshing around you.

YOU just owned yourself.

And so no extra equipment = death. Same with smoking: You don't have any extra equipment, and it ends with death.

Wheras when skydiving, you have a parachute, you generally do it in a group, and you always aim for some sort of field where there are no obstructions.
