Because cigarette smokers are not wanting to quit! because the enjoy smokin perhaps?
Totally disagree. Have you smoked and tried to quit? Once you have, then you will understand.
It's a lot easier than saying you're addicted. I think addiction goes a lot further than a personal choice - which might explain why so many can't get off the hook.
I don't think they continue smoking to be cool, but I think that is the reason most people start.. that or curiosity. I started smoking because my mother did.. and I wanted to know what all the fuss was about. People are always talking about how bad smoking is, but they were all doing it.. I wanted to know.. then.. I didn't want to stop. I have been smoking for 7 years. And I don't continue to because I'm "addicted" I continue too. believe it or not, because I like it. It makes me feel better. I'm not saying that I can't quit.. because if I wanted to , I could.. I'm saying that I don't want to quit. After 7 years, I have no ill health effects, I can still run like I could when I was a kid.. it doesn't affect my health at all . and I like it. Perhaps when I start to get sick all the time, or can't run anymore.. or can't breath.. I will quit. But for now.. it's not a matter of can't .. it's a matter of don't want too.
And I don't like it when people tell me that I am a bad person just because I smoke. I volunteer, I have a good job, I am a good person, I donate to charity, I don't cheat, lie or steal.. so.. to all those people out there who think that you're a bad person if you smoke.. you can go . you know where.
The answer to your first question is: "To get the smoking nazis off their backs."
I strongly disagree with your amateur assessment of addiction as simply being the excuse of a weak-minded person. Your dismissal of mental illness as being in the same category reminds me of Tom Cruise & his outlandish Scientology views.
Incidentally, I quit smoking about two months ago, and don't feel the need to go around ramming anti-smoking views down others' throats. Smokers already know that what they're doing is bad for them. They've heard it all before, and really don't need anyone's lectures. They'll quit if & when they are ready, and not when you decide it's time.
