There are lots of old people who still smoke
This is an excuse full of false hopes and dreams. Do you really think that there are lots of older people who still smoke a pack a day? The simple fact is, they did smoke, but maybe one cigarette in a week, not a pack a day. If you believe this excuse, you will be finding out the hard way that disease and cancer are not late in life events when you smoke a pack a day.
The truth is, and you know this is true deep down, you will live longer if you quit smoking. This excuse is a mild one, but it does get voiced from time to time. There are variations of this excuse, like, I heard about so and so, and she died of lung cancer and never smoked, so why should I quit? It is important for you to not cloud your mental state with excuses. They will kill your quit, for no good reason.
