Geesh..after reading all this I think I'm going to quit smoking. Crap, I just said I'm a smoker...I'm a horrible person now in the eyes of some. Yes, I'm stupid, I'm weak and dammit I smoke cigarettes. Wait..no I have a Master's degree, I am pretty tough, and I have an addiction. Don't judge me.
Seriously, I know that I'm slowly killing myself. I've thought about this and came to the conclusion that everything is going to kill me. You know, the spinach I had for dinner last week might kill me.
I don't want to kill anyone else. When I wake up in the morning, I don't think 'Hey, I'm going to smoke at the bus stop and try to kill 3 people this week with my second hand smoke.' I don't smoke at the bus stop...in fact I try to avoid smoking around people all together.
My mom got lung cancer...never smoked in her life. My dad smoked 2 packs a day...no cancer. Moral of the story..well pick one
a) Second hand smoke is more dangerous
b) Cancer is going to get you no matter what
I agree that anyone can be made out to be a horrible person through a vice or choice. Smoking is bad and I'll quit...but I think I'll have one more right now. All this talk of cigarettes has given me a craving. And then I promise I'm done...until tomorrow anyway.
