As someone who smoked for 14 years, quit, and now has no problem being around smokers, I concur. People simply lack willpower and discipline.

- Gatsky 14y agoGood for you, but if we adopted this as an overriding principle in public health policy, then lots of people would just keep smoking. I would also add that education and socioeconomic status are clearly related to adverse health behaviours - are you saying that poor people who don't finish high school smoke more because they lack willpower and discipline? Simplicity is a wonderful thing...

- baddox 14y agoYou seem to be unaware of how some people's willpower works. If I want to quit smoking, I don't carry around a pack and a lighter and just "use willpower" to avoid smoking. If I want to break my alcoholism, I don't continue going to all the same bars and just order water.
