Why do people still smoke cigarettes? There is literally no benefit to doing so. Smoking only harms yourself and the people around you. It's truly a disgusting and stupid habit. Smokers know it's bad for them, yet they don't quit. For anyone who actually doesn't think that smoking is "that bad", here's a link for you : http://www.knowledgepublisher.com/article-222.html Edit: For anyone saying" it only affects them, it's none of your business what they do", Google "second hand smoke" and "pollution", then come back and we can talk. Also, to anyone who compares smoking to fast food, alcohol, or pop and says those things are the same: get out of my thread and stop wasting my time.
