What is it about smoking that feels mysterious, or sexy, or chic? Or is that it? Do you smoke because of its image or do you smoke because it;s convenient? It gives you something to do with your hands at parties, I guess. But what else is there? Despite everything you know about smoking — emphysema, the fatality of lung cancer, the fact that it will give asthma to your kids if you keep this up — you’re still doing it. There has to be a reason. More Here…

As a non-smoker and someone who literally gets sick from second hand smoke I still understand the reality of why most smokers make the decision to continue smoking. They’re not fucking stupid, they know the health risks. The same goes for people who drink a lot or eat shitty food. Addiction isn’t about “looking cool”. Some people started because it was normal in their family or among their friends to smoke. A lot of them do it for stress reasons or it started casually and became something they can’t imagine not doing. It’s mostly mental which is way harder to break then a physical addiction. And like any addiction it doesn’t stop until you truly want it too.

My two best friends are smokers. Though I had a stroke and technically smoke of any kind is terrible for my clotting problems, they are awesome and put them away when I’m around. On the other hand, I’m not a total bitch and if they want to smoke that’s fine with me. Life is too short.
