Reply To: Smoking Habit

Kaputsa,I’m glad to hear that other people are concerned about this issue like I am. I agree that people do have the need of an “outlet”, but I’m sure that there are other healthier and safer types of outlets. We all use them and they aren’t totally dangerous or disgusting. My question is what causes a person to start to smoke? Besides for being in a bad situation and being exposed to harmful things, how can we let so many people ruin thier lives and by so doing implying that its o.k. to smoke?

Yes people do have free choice and they definately have to accept the consequences, but who is guiding these souls and telling them what to use as a better outlet? Why does human society expect people to know everything of life from the minute they were born? We are here to help these people and by ignoring the issue or only thinking of how bad it is for you (which it is) is not (in my opion)the most appropriate or effective way to deal with this problem.
