If the person telling you smoking is unhealthy is a smoker, then it's obviously a lie and you should enjoy the healthy smoking habit whenever possible.
But I look forward to HN comments about how and why London is or is not hell. Those are likely to be both interesting and informative. ;-)
Barring some of the super-top-tier jobs, your salary will realistically cap out at maybe £100-150k as the absolute best of the best at which point you're technically really rich on paper but still not like "can actually afford to buy a really nice house and have two kids in a really nice area" rich.
For all the talk about "bigger salaries" and "career progression", I'm genuinely not convinced that those who join the London rat race are actually truly better off than someone in Leeds. Sure you can hit upwards of 80k after like five, but that completely ignores that you need to be earning like £60k to have a half-decent standard of living to begin with.
