Holy shite you have no right to question someone's intelligence after a post like that

I've said that to my wife countless times. I don't understand it...it seems one would be strong enough to kick the habit. Or, they just don't care. I love the fact that my health insurance is so expensive due to the smokers that are averaged into my company's group health insurance plan.

It's such an incredibly horrible, unhealthy, and nasty habit.

I don't question their intelligence. I know plenty of very intelligent people who are/have been smokers.

I do question their right to give me any dietary advice. "You use artificial sweeteners? You eat meat?" Blah blah fricking blah. Shuttup, carcinogen inhaler.

People that smoke aren't any more stupid than all the nerds doing crossfit thinking they can workout. So anywhere you look in life there are stupid people. Stop judging it makes you look stupid.


Damn you fit a lot of stupidity into a short post!

Teenagers don't really smoke tobacco nearly as much as they used to. At one time, 30%+ of teenagers smoked, now it's less than 10%. Most teens have realized that smoking tobacco is pointless. Those teens that do smoke mostly smoke weed exclusively these days.

Why do people drink caffeine or alcohol? With all the research that shows how unhealthy and addictive they are.



Smart people smoke weed

People equating cigarettes to artificial sweeteners or a Coke are sadly grasping for anything to justify their lack of strength to quit a habit that is killing them and others around them.

Hell, there's many highly intellectual people through out history who've commited suicide. That's pretty bad for your health. Just because someone's smart, doesn't mean they are going to make every single correct decision as to how to manage their lives. You can know the detrimental effects of something and still make the decision to do it.

Also, if more people were able to smoke a cigarette every now and again and not make it habitual, I think we'd have a lot different opinion of smokers.

Yup

Mental illness is found in the intelligent population at a much higher rate than those of average intelligence.

It's pretty ironic for the OP to be calling out anyone for being unintelligent, as he has shown that he is probably the stupidest person in this thread.

I question the intelligence of people who get upset with what other people do with their own lives.

I smoke because I fricking like it. And hey, I'm also a pretty smart guy!

Do you really think this is the reason your healthcare is so expensive? You're incredibly misguided if so.

Ever been on a college campus?

TONS of post-doc cig smokers out there. I'm not sure what you measure intelligence by, but having a doctorate in a STEM subject is probably a better indicator than bad habits.

I guess you never take risks because doing something that could potentially kill you is stupid, right?
