Smoking
I am not a smoker and never have been. Based on all of our knowledge on the effects smoking has on your body why do people continue to smoke? The smokers at work do seem to have a smoking bond. They also get more breaks then the rest of us do. I wonder what they do when they have those days when you barely have time to pee. Do they have to choose between going to the bathroom or peeing? When it gets really cold during the winter, they have to bundle up every time they go outside for their smoking break but they still go out there. It's also an expensive habit--cigarettes aren't cheap. The tobacco companies are incredible marketers and excellent at creating a product people get hooked on. I wonder kind of feeling smoking creates--why they like it so much. HMMMMMMMM>

I've often wondered why people get hooked on smoking NOW, with all of the information we have. But an addiction is an addiction. And the companies keep putting them out there. Much of it is habit. A young adult friend of our daughter's has tried TWICE to quit. Lasted a while before college stress pulled him back in. And he's a runner. Got started in high school in conjunction with partying. Alcohol makes a swell partner, I hear. Why do we spend copious amounts of cash on alchohol? How does THAT make us feel? Hmmm.
