No shite really...

As inequality in America continues expanding by many measures, smoking is a growing aspect of that divide that is a matter of life and death, with wealthier and more-educated Americans now largely spared the cost and deadly effects of the vice.

Why do poor people keep making bad decisions while rich people make good decisions... it's just not fair they (rich people) are rewarded for their choices.

If you're smoking in 2017, you're really dumb. Education has nothing to do with it.

Who would have thought that uneducated people make poor choices?

I bet you are going to tell me next that uneducated people are more likely to not save for retirement and/or be obese?

Poor people often make bad life decisions. It's one of the reasons they're poor.

This.

You have to question the intelligence of anyone under the age of 45 that smokes.

Careful now, most of these folks would be in your Dim voting block, you need to support your fellow constituents.

If you are really dumb, I'd say that is the usual reason for being uneducated.

Rich people tend to make better life decisions.

Amazes me how someone making 40k a year will smoke a pack or more a day. 1 pack a day equals 35 bucks a week. 150 bucks a month for someone of that income level is a utility bill or car payment.
