Wow! That's a frightening list!

I have a friend who insists she doesn't smoke that much, about four to six cigarettes a day. She also keeps telling me that both her mother and grandfather used to smoke well into their 80s. Somehow that seems to make it alright for her as well.

Should I bother giving her that list? Or will she just become stubborn, which seems to be the reaction of a lot of people?

It's pretty amazing what we convince ourselves of.
