It's not like people are addicted because they think it's harmless. And people routinely do things that are many times more harmful than smoking your first cigarette ever. Telling addicts they are harming their health is a terrible tactic to curb the problem.
It's taken me 12 years to successfully quit smoking, and I knew about the lung cancer, the cardiovascular issues and the radioactive tobacco trivia all along.
- virgildotcodes 4y agoOh sure, I generally agree with you, and have also smoked on/off for the last couple decades. I just wonder if people’s general phobia of all things radioactive would further move the needle here. Edit: I have to say though, that health concerns are what ultimately made me quit for good, so maybe all that propaganda isn’t entirely useless.
