Why do people smoke cigarettes?

[Grizzled]

I grew up in a smokers house. My first cig at age 16, went down like water down a drain. No cough , no hack, nothing. Was addicted at that point. I laugh at smoker haters.

Now lets talk about some real killers.
1) food- all the chemicals and junk in food has got to be about as bad as smoking a cig.
2) diabetes- used to be ask kids if someone in there family smoked most would raise there hands. This is the story for diabetes now. ( yes there is a commercial).
3) Stupidity- your crying, bitching, whining, carrying on, being a dick will cause people to rage and loose it
4) Obesity- the number one killer in America. Obesity causes diabetes, heart disease etc etc. Yes you are free to do as you wish. So dont bitch about my smoke , that makes me look at your unpleasantness. I will quit shoveling cigs in my mouth , when you quit shoveling everything else consumable in yours.

Why do I smoke? Go to a nursing home, I dont want to be one of them.
