It's a disgustingly dangerous, expensive habit. If you know that a product is addictive and is killing you and the tobacco industry is laughing all the way to the bank (at your expense and health), why do you pay for it?

First of all, no one is perfect. You, for example, like to ask questions witch appear to be kind of snobby. Let me ask you a question. Why would an intelligent person ask such a rhetorical question? I can answer my own “rhetorical” question for you. A person asks such a question in the hopes that others may thank and learn for themselves by using deductive and past experience reasoning. This method, of asking rhetorical questions, was made famous by Socrates himself and so I am not questioning your intelligence as you have mine as I am a smoker.
In the end, you or I don’t want answers to our presumptuous questions. We want to teach someone a lesson. But you have faulted. Your fault lies in the fact that you ask why people smoke instead of asking why people become addicted, or better yet, how smokers can conquer their addictions. You must admit that we all have addictions. What are your addictions? Perhaps it’s coffee or soda. Maybe it’s gasoline so that you can drive around. Or is it the internet? My point is that nobody is better than anyone else just because of an addiction and addictions are why smokers smoke.
I ask why we allow tobacco industries to continuously lie about their products and why the community doesn’t do more to keep tobacco from the hands of children.
Thank you for your attention

What Does having an IQ have to do with it? Honestly? I thought that the USA was suppose to be a place of Freedom of choice. If I choose to be a lousy husband vs a great partner. A drunk vs a pot head. A Dr vs an Indian Chief. When did we become so judge-mental of each other and start walking in one an others shoes. I know how to move to another table don't you I have done it all my life my father smoked. It is a matter of choice. Not what is in your head.

properly for me I proceed to commit sins by way of fact i'm a sinner. I additionally be responsive to that there is no ingredient or act that i will do to do away with those sins--no provider i will do for my fellow guy, no funds i provides you, no song i will sing, no ritual i will comprehensive. i do no longer smoke and that i'm no longer precisely particular if it incredibly is a sin (it probable is, yet I won't pass there). i individually conflict with occaisonal swearing and mendacity yet fairly some egotism. i'm so excited to have a real savior! i could no longer make it on my own, there is no way. Christ has promised to hold me and that i like that. I do proceed to paintings on reducing sins from my life and that i make progression, yet luckily the religion of Christianity does no longer concentration on what to "DO" yet somewhat makes a speciality of what has been "completed"

Intelligence: The capacity to acquire and apply knowledge .....has nothing to do with your daily habits. The smartest people in the world could still have trouble making bad choices concerning themselves. The line between genius and insanity is very thin, and some of the most complexing questions regarding ourselves are virtually "blind" to each of us.....IE: Making a bad decision has no effect on your intelligence, it is repeating that bad decision over and over again and not learning from your consequences that is the definition of Insanity!

It doesn't have anything to do with intelligence it all has to do with choice and determination. Smoking is a habit, plus your body craves the nicotine and you become addicted which is hard, very hard to stop. Some people are food addicts and they become fat and that is as hard to control as smoking, really harder because one has to eat to live. There are so many addictions one can have.

So, It's their life, not yours, I bet that you have some nasty little habit that you indulge yourself into every chance you get. Why don't you leave those poor smokers alone and try to live your own miserable life WITHOUT interfering with others.
BTW; I AM a NON-SMOKER if you need to know.
