<p>Smoking is so pointless, I feel like everyone whom I ask “Why are you smoking, don’t you know it’s really bad for you” instantly become the dumbest people in the world by responding like </p>
<p>-I don’t do it too often so I’ll be fine
-I’m sure it doesn’t do that much harm
-It’s relaxing (you could be relaxing for 10-20 more years if you don’t smoke at all…)
-It’s just one cigarette, why don’t you just leave me alone</p>
<p>Basically things in the spur of the moment that the bad side of their brain tries to use to convince the other smarter mind that it’s okay. </p>
<p>Why would you want your body to get addicted to nicotine? Why not just take up chocolate instead, lol? There are so many things to do at a party other than binge and smoke. Most people dont’ realize that alcohol turns your liver and brain into a deteriorated state if you do it too much. But smoking, not at all, I hate even smelling it through second hand smoking.</p>
<p>I really wish the government had some other way to make up the $200 billion + it gets from taxes from cigarettes. How about a clean energy system that uses wind and solar, then you save 10x that money long term and you can ban cigarettes.</p>
