I have to speak for people who smoke because I smoked
before my accident.
Number one back in the day when smoking was considered
cool and high class tobacco co's not farmers told people
that smoking was almost good for you and started
experimenting with additives to make the body crave it
just like alcohol and it worked.
Most people that smoke don't even want to anymore and
just saying quit or you're going to die proves how
addictive it is and extremely hard if not impossible for a
majority of people.
It cost a person $1400 a year to smoke at a pack a day
and if that isn't reason enough to quit nothing is.
I smoked about 3 1/2 years after sci and it still
wasn't easy to quit even though it helped give me pneumonia
on several occasions.
It's terrible to smoke but it isn't easy to quit and I
still have cravings to this day and just like an alcoholic I
take it day by day.

Parking-smoking
Now Now Little Quad,
I know smoking is not the right
choice, it mite have helped kill my dad. But it was
his choice to smoke, just like a lot more things we chose to
do to our bodies. Like over eating, drinking alcahol taking
drugs just to name a few. We all seem to forget that
tobacco made America what it is today, it got the settelers
on their feet so they could buy supplies. Im a tobacco
farmer and a American, I believe in freedom of choice.
I also was a smoker before my accident, but I never smoked
in a public place or where I thought it mite bother another
person. Its called RESPECT thats what wrong with the
world today, the lack of respect! Sorry if this
affended anybody, just had to jump in defend tobacco
its provided cloths and food for my family for 4
generations .

Actually, you are very right. This is not the
1020's when we were dumb and ignorant
of the smoking facts. Almost the 22th Century and
some of the population still doesn't understand or wants to
understand some basic facts about the dangers of
smoking.
Happy Holiday
