Pookie, I perfectly understand where you're coming from. Smoking is an utterly stupid and pointless waste of health, not to mention money. 20 smokes here come in at around €7+.
I'm personally not in denial about any of that. If I'm in the company of non smokers indoors, I will ask whether or not it is ok to smoke. I genuinely have no problem stepping out doors if people don't want to breathe my carcenogenic crap, I think it's wise of them.
So after all that, why do I smoke at all? I enjoy it. Why do I enjoy it? Good question. Smoking reminds me of good times I've had and smoking is also a kind of social act for me. Does the health impact bother me? A little. I don't smoke a huge amount, but of course one is too many. I intend to stop in the future. But right now, I'm just going to go with it.
Are any of my reasons good enough as excuses for my continuned smoking? That's a personal thing. I'm guessing you'd say they're bullshitty and that's cool. But they're good enough for me and after all it's my choice, my body and all that jazz.
