[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Smokers suck. Really. Unless you are old, and really didn't know how horrible it was when you started. Whatever. If you grew up in the 70s/80s/90s, you have NO EXCUSE for smoking. NONE. We ALL KNEW that smoking kills, and so does second-hand smoke.

But you're SOOOOO COOOOOOLLLLLLLL and had to smoke because you are SUCH a badass.

You are disgusting and rude.[/quote]

The overwhelming majority of smokers started smoking during adolescence or early adulthood (9/10 smokers started before age 18 & 99% before age 26 ). People in their teens & early 20s aren't exactly known for thinking about the long-term consequences their decisions -- which makes perfect sense given that the frontal cortex of the brain isn't even fully developed until around age 26. So when 18-year-olds are tempted to smoke in order to fit in, rebel or deal with stress, the fact that it could lead to a longterm nicotine addiction that, in turn, leads to cancer & emphysema decades from now often isn't enough to stop them.
