This is targeted towards anyone around 40 or younger that smokes.
When I talk to older folks that smoke or smoked like my parents did they always say stuff like "We didn't know any better. If we had known the bad stuff about it to begin with we never would have started." Looking bad at the advertising and how the tobacco companies lied I can certainly understand it. However, I don't think that statement would be true. Why? Because people my age and younger smoke.
So my question to my generation and younger is why did you start smoking to begin with? You certainly knew better. The evils of tobacco has been all over the TV and radio and in schools since the late 80's.
So why would you start doing something that you knew not only effected you but everyone around you in a negative way? All the negative tobacco propaganda worked on me. So why not you?
I don't ask this in a condescending way. I just don't understand the reasoning of it.
