Re: Why do people keep smoking?
You remind me of my brother. He used to say, "What should I do, quit smoking so I can die healthy."
He did quit though. It's pretty obvious it's not good for you.
Look, I'm an ex-smoker, but I'm not into the whole anti-smoke hysteria. I have less tolerance for smoke than the average never-smoker, but I don't bitch about it or support all the prohibition about it.
But I think you are reaching trying to tie that sentiment to this thread. The drinking analogy is not analogous at all. You drink, you feel good, you have fun. Maybe you get laid.
Smoking doesn't really do that much for you and once it's habitual you don't even get the small rush you did the first few times.
Yet people continue to do it. It's not weird that somebody would wonder why.
