Consuming refined sugar is a health risk.
Driving a motor vehicle is a health risk.
Drinking alcohol is a health risk.
Sex is a health risk.
Smoking, on the other hand, provides a relaxing break that lowers the stress level for many people.
No, I don't smoke but it's none of my business if you choose to smoke.

No, we don't all know it's an above average health risk. It's a matter of what you choose to believe. Everything we do is a health risk. I'm not a smoker. I have smoked a cigarette here and there but it's no addiction. Sheeple joined the anti-smoking movement because of the highly funded and effective advertisements, the research, and studies funded by guess who? RIGHT -- big pharma. They had smoking cessation drugs and created a market for them. It's a legal activity and there should be no repercussions for doing it. The taxes on cigarettes are outrageous and unconstitutional.

- I'm curious - why the obvious tone of condescension on the anti-smoking side?
  
  Everyone makes choices that effect their health - or do all of you stay away from cars, fatty foods, dangerous sports, anything but the lowest crime areas... etc?
  
  And just as a point of interest - the oldest person on record smoked heavily until she was 117.

- That doesn't make it ok for you to act like you're better or to cop an attitude.
  
  I know a few people who are crippled for life from car accidents - both their own fault and not. That doesn't make it ok for me to cop an attitude with drivers, right?
  
  Withing 100 years we will all be dead. You have no right to tell others how they should spend their allotted time. And when you are dead - living healthy will not have meant a damn thing.

- I'm not telling others how they should spend their time. Nor am I copping an attitude to act like I'm better. I was getting at the anti-smoking health Nazis. THEY'VE no rights to tell others how they should spend their time. THEY'VE no rights to cop an attitude and act like they're better. That's why I thanked you for telling us all about that woman who smoked heavily and lived for 117 years. That gives us all hope.

  For the record... I smoke... about 3 cigs a month - if that. :-)
  
  It's not a personal issue with me. It's the superiority crap I see in so many non-smokers. They look down at smokers - and haven't the slightest right to.

I'm not a smoker .. but I do know that smoking can be an addiction and that's why people continue to smoke even when they know the health risks. It's not a rational choice.

But smokers have to want to quit before they do. It's always interesting when they do quit .. they often become the biggest objectors to those who continue to smoke.

- Anything can be an addiction. It's why people do many of the things they do.

They say nicotine is MORE addictive than heroin so just tossing the smokes away and saying "I'm done" is not the easiest thing...But it can be accomplished. :)

I smoked on and off over a ten year period. I stopped two years ago last November.....here's what happened.....

I had been struggling in an attempt to try to give smoking up. As someone who believes in God, I would even tell God how sorry I was; that I knew that smoking was bad for me; and that I really would do the very best I could to give up. I was trying to use the little white lozenges that come in a dark blue container. Only problem was, I would take out the lozenge after 10 mins, have a smoke, and then pop the lozenge back in my mouth......
.....To the very best of my knowledge, I (unawares) didn't smoke for 2 days - and THEN it suddenly dawned on me that I hadn't smoked for 2 days. I had zero cravings from that time, onwards. I sell cigarettes as part of my job. My adult son smokes at home. Absolutely zero temptation....

My dad, and my adult daughter (when I did smoke) tried to "make" me understand the seriousness of the smoking issue......Deeeerrr - I wasn't stupid. I KNEW it could be bad for me. Just like others state - it can be EXTREMELY addictive - and prove to be very difficult to overcome.....I KNOW I didn't do it by myself.

Do take no health risks?

If so, why, since we all know they are?
