#TIL that tabacco contains 3-4 times the radiation that of Chernobyl, because of polonium and lead - all of which goes directly into the lungs.
So next time you meet a smoker who refuses to quit, ask them if they would explore the disaster site of Chernobyl without a radiation suit, then hit them with this little factoid to see how they react.
And yes, I used to be a smoker, I did 2 packs a day for about 7 years. I've now been nicotine free for 22 years.
