why do smokers lite up in a crowd . is it selfishness or just denial that they arehurting those around?

Question:

Answers:
I think that a lot of smokers probably don't even realize that they're affecting the people around them. Those that do probably couldn't care less what happens to other people. It's my opinion that smokers only smoke to feel as if they're "bad" or to escape reality.

All of the above!

They believe they have a "right" to poison our air. both

I don't know where you are located, however, smokers in western Kentucky are respectful. And, as a smoker, I respect the rights of others. However, there are busybodies who feel they have the right to chastise smokers. For instance, recently, while dining at a restaurant where smoking is allowed, a man who weighed approximately 600 lbs., had the nerve to tell me "you need to stop smoking." Imagine that.he should have looked in the mirror (wide angle).

when ur caught up in ur own mess, some tend to disregard those around them.

nicotine, alchohol or drugs - all addicts have issues.

they don't care about themselves so why should they care about others NEITHER! they are in their right and they just feel like smoking

I think it's a combo of both.

Simply pathologic self absorption. Narcisiistic personality disorder. Proctalgia fugax.

Hello, so speaking as a non-smoker, I do have to have to defend the smokers in our society. I have lived in an inner city area, that is surrounded by Pilots of Chemical Plants. These Different Pi lots are put into subdivisions, because each one sets off it's own different chemicals. Chemicals, that were the reasons for my two uncles cancer. They both worked at Dow for years, and never smoked, but cancer was a big issue, had they never worked for Dow, or any Chemical Plant it wouln't have hit them so hard and fast. My dad got Chemicals in his skin at work which caused, him to get a bleeding disorder. Me myself blame the Chemical Plants that surround us, because I have seizures, and as I have gotten older my seizures have gotten worse. I say that the Chemicals in Dow, and BASF have more than a great deal to do with it.

They just dont care.
never will til they have breathing problems, then they may care.. I have seen people on oxygen still smoking. I tell you that right there is gross.
