why should they quit? does it make someone who drinks or eat unhealthy food weak? if someone enjoys doing it then i dont see the problem.
some people might want to eat and be super fit and live to their 90 and some people will happily do the things they want and live a shorter life knowing they have done what they want.

Surely someone who eats well and keeps fit is doing what they want, only with the added benefit of living longer rather than shortening their life.

I quit because I got a bad chest infection which wasnt helped by the fact I smoked, frankly it scared me a bit. Ive only stopped a month and already I smell other people who smoke and think jesus is that what I smelt like. The way I see it, If you happy smoking then fine, but if not do something about it. These people who quit for a week and then go back to it saying they cant, really just didnt want to quit in the 1st place.
There is no doubt smoking is a rotten habbit, but plenty of folk do it and plenty dont, I would say more smoke than dont these days.
I still maintain the smoking ban was one of the best things they have ever done and thats from a smoker at the time. Im not going to be one of those moany ex smoker and go on and on, but it reallly is one of the best decisions I have made.

why drink when youre out if youre not addicted to alcohol?

I am a smoker in general, have about 10 a day. Even i think a fag is alot better when half buzzed so i can understand the appeal to only smoking on a night out.

What he said.
Never smoked, never even tried it, to be honest i dont see why people ever see the appeal and try it.
Probably tastes shit, stinks, makes you stink, ends up fooking up your insides etc etc. What is the appeal.
Peer Pressure?........Mentally Weak
