RE: in defense of smoking

in #writing6 years ago (edited)

My favorite post of the day!
I'm also a 22 year old, smoking since the past 3 years and especially coming from the lesser liberal areas of the world, it's really frowned upon, both in terms of its adverse effects on the health, and in terms of the social stigmas attached to such a MORBID HABIT OMG.

We all have our vices, right? And people with diabetes have sugar all the time, people with hypertension and high blood pressure have high cholesterol and sodium, how is this any different? And especially for women.

We're not immortal. We're all gonna die anyway - might as well live a little and while we're at it, do what makes us happy. As long as we're not smoking like a 100 cigarettes a day, I don't see the harm.

Love this post. Love it!

Sort:  

if we never did anything that posed potential harm to our bodies, we might as well be dead.

have you ever managed 100 in a day? i haven't..

I managed 60 once. It was a good day.

that's what a child would say, not a responsible adult

my statement is intrinsicallly pedantic. we are all guilty of consciously doing something that we know is potentiallly harmful to our bodies for the sake of pleasure.

but not day after day after day, you are just making excuses for not not having the strength to give up your drug addiction. the ice addict say the same thing

who said it needed to be every day?

if you masturbate every day, perhaps more than you should, end up with friction burns and visit the hospital for treatment, does that mean masturbation is wrong? because public money was spent on dealing with a problem rooted in personal indulgence?

the idea of socialising anything is a completely different philosophical matter to what i'm arguing in this post.

i notice that movies are again promoting smoking, so i guess the rise in smoking which i have notice over the last 10 years is probably related to people wanting to seem cool
