centie, it's not so much the post that offends me so much as the ignorance behind it. I started heavily smoking when I joined the Army because it was the only time I was allowed out of the motorpool just to take a break. The addiction came on and I ended up smoking about a pack a day afterwards. It was basically just an excuse to get away, but after you've been smoking awhile, your body craves the nicotine in the cigarettes.
It may sound easy for a non-smoker to say how stupid it is to smoke and how anyone can quit whenever they want, but you have to remember it's easier for some to just buy another pack of smokes and not have to have the cravings then it is to just straight up quit. That's why people continue to smoke even when they know it's bad for them.
I did end up quitting, but that was only after it started affecting my run times. I had to do it for myself and my job, so I did. It was hard, but now I'm good.
Sorry for rambling, just giving MY opinion.
