Why do people smoke even though they know it will ultimately be their demise?

Question:

Answers:
You do not know what will be the reason you die until you do. I have known many people who smoked for many years and lived to ripe old age and died a natural death.
What I find so interesting is that more people are getting sicker and at younger ages no matter what they are doing in their lives.
Certainly smoking is not good for you. I do not believe people think it is cool anymore to do so as they did back in maybe the 50's. But then it was common to come home and have your wife hand you a martini after work too. Times change,attitudes change
Habits change, lifestyles change.
And guess what there are smokers who actually enjoy smoking and are healthier than some of their contemporaries..
As I said you do not know what will cause your demise. Their are many things we do and are exposed to in this world of ours that cause many health problems and Social problems (like alcohol)
You certainly don't hear about the guy who smokes his cigerette then smacks his kids or wife around? Or woman doing that either for that matter? Yet everyone jumps on the cigerettes are bad for you bandwagon.
Oops off my soapbox here. Some of these issues really are so petty and are blown out of proportion that it makes me sick.
