To Smoke or Not to Smoke?

I look at smoking as a ploy by "the man" for population control. Why else would we sell something with so many toxic and carcinogenic properties to the masses. Sure smoking is fun, but there is not much you can say about the health benefits of smoking. The best advice I can give as a former smoker, is to keep trying to quit even if if takes a long time...remind yourself that you are doing something positive and don't beat yourself up if you slip occasionally.

I don't smoke because:
- it smells bad and I get agitated when I smell it.
- it's not healthy
- it isn't cool
- you become addicted to nicotine and you can't stop then (I mean you can, but you have to try hard!)
- you are agitating others because of bad smell

I think it's enough points to be non-smoker.

But I know what it's like to be addicted to something and I understand their need for it, but, hey, the smell, they might do something about it!
