An interesting point of view on why people smoke and continue to smoke.

People age 18 to 34 form the highest proportion of smokers, at 28 per cent. in this video clip on the pros and cons of smoking.

For some reason I can't embed this video - just click on the above pic to watch.

What say you vapers?

Nice video. I was caught off guard at first by how casual he was and then there was a *beep* and I thought "Yeah lemme keep watching".

He brings up interesting points. Since I was born well after big tobacco was able to run promotions in all forms of media, I can't ever claim it was corporations who got me started. I always thought smoking was "cool" because my father did it. Every young boy looks up to dad and wants to emulate him. But mom was the voice of reason (and fear) and she always talked me out of it. It was my best friend who got me hooked. Unintentional, he was trying to "help" me with a bad break up and offered his "out" for relief. It started as a habit and, yes, I thought I was "cool". A hot girl would pull up next to me and I'd like a cig thinking I was like Jason Statham. But that fun and coolness became an addiction where I soon went from "cool" to sad because I always wanted a cig. Some friends didn't even want to be around me because I'd smell disgusting, so naturally I associated with my "smoking" friends. I am just thankful for vaping now because it's ACTUALLY cool and I love the weird stares I get, especially inside. Oh and if that guy had an ecig...he wouldn't have been all bundled up in the cold .

Yep... I stated in the very early 90s because all the "bad boys" and "bad girls" smoked... and I was trying to emulate them. BAD IDEA!
