Why do so many college students smoke cigarettes?

<p>I’m concerned about smoking because I don’t like to see young people tricked by evil, soulless corporations and then become addicted to a dangerous drug that can kill them and subject them to horrible health issues. So while I may not try to have smoking banned, I sure will try to convince you not to do it, and I also support restricting the means those corporations use to try to dupe people into smoking.</p>

Presumably, you have never wondered what it would be like to drive nails into your head. This is because it is obvious to you that this would be a harmful and painful thing to do. But marketing by tobacco companies led you to believe that smoking was a sensible thing to try. But it isn’t, really. It’s pretty much entirely harmful and negative, and anything to the contrary is either propaganda from somebody who wants to take your money, or rationalization by people who are addicted and don’t want to admit it.</p>
