Smoking Response.

A few posts have suggested that people smoke to be closer to death and smoking is “ A way of committing a lingering suicide.” … I cannot disagree with this claim more…!… One post was written by one who I assume to be smoker… and another is a response by a non smoker to the post that was written by the alleged smoker… I would like to point out that just because one person believes that a prolonged death is the reason why people smoke… doesn’t mean that all smokers continue to smoke for the same reason…



Also, on the point of depression… Some may smoke because they are depressed and other’s may be depressed because they smoke… Some are susceptible to depression who have never smoked in their entire lives and others smoke and are never depressed…



It is well known that a slow and painful death may befall those who smoke… Most actions have consequences and smoking is no exception… However… Some are exceptions to this rule… I know many people whose elderly relatives continue to smoke well into their 80’s and have known some elders who have passed away for reasons completely unrelated to smoking when they have smoked their entire adult life…



Death is not a consideration every time some smokers light up a cigarette… It is not the reason why I continue to Light up… As with many I know of to smoke… Some smokers continue to smoke because they find comfort in the action… For some it simply becomes routine… For others its simply a matter of addiction…



The last link at the end of this post I entirely agree with… Its is all down to choice… Many associate smoking to be ‘bad’… But I believe that to take away the choice of the individual is worse… ;)
