> I also found this totally strange that people pick up smoking cigarettes once they are old enough to know they are just horrible for you. It doesn't surprise me very much. People choose to do a lot of things that are terrible for their body, like eating poorly or not getting exercise, and it's not clear to me that cigarettes are even the worst choice they can make. It would be interesting to see the long term effects of smoking 5 cigarettes a day versus being 50 pounds over weight.
